19th Century French Louis XVI Wall Decoration with Marble and Carved Bacchus

About the Item

19th Century French Neoclassical Louis XVI Wall Decoration with Marble Inset and Carved Bacchus is an amazing work of the sculptor's art! Created from old-growth oak, it features incredible relief and three dimensionality, starting with the striking visage of Bacchus centered on the arched crown above. Egg & dart trim emanates out from the bust of Bacchus and encircles the half-pediments on each corner, each of which is suitable for a small display surface. Immediately below the bust of Bacchus is a frieze carved with amazingly artistic foliates and fruit in bold relief. Under each corner post appears a two-tiered pilaster carved with overlapping Greek coin flanked by Ionic scrolls and finished below with two-tiered molding that spans the entire width, flaring out at the middle to create another small display surface at the center. In between, a luxuriously veined marble plaque is framed by fine molded detail for a splendidly opulent finishing touch. Circa 1870s Measures 28H x 57W x 5D

19th Century French Brass Wall Fountain, Lavabo
Located in Dallas, TX
19th century French brass wall fountain ~ Lavabo is a charming relic from a bygone era! Back before the days of ubiquitous running water in every room of the house, folks were obliged to create ingenious solutions like this wall fountain. Such a piece would be placed just outside or inside the back door, so that when it was time to come inside from working in the fields, one could wash hands and face before entering the home. The reservoir above held sufficient water for the task, and the basin below captured the waste water for dumping later via an easily removable hanging system. The cast brass valves...
