Wall shelf unit (2) - Wood, Polychrome painted - Antique Venetian shelves.

Magnificent pair of baroque polychromed wall shelves in carved wood, polychrome and gilded – refined ornamental sculpture of high era circa 19th 1820. 41cm X 27 cm Splendid pair of decorative wooden elements finely carved, characterized by extraordinary ornamental richness and a refined composition of volutes, acanthus leaves, racemes and phytomorphic motifs, executed with notable craftsmanship and sculptural sensitivity. The decoration stands out for the elegant sinuous course of the volutes, which intertwine in a dynamic and airy composition, creating a suggestive play of solid and voids and spaces. The ornamental repertoire, clearly inspired by Baroque and Rococo, reveals a cultivated decorative taste, conceived to embellish representative furnishings or environments of particular prestige. Of particular charm is the original polychromy or antique execution, in delicate ivory, old rose and green gilded tones, enhanced by refined gold details. The different color nuances highlight the relief of the carvings and confer to the whole a soft and sophisticated luminosity, typical of decorative ensembles intended for aristocratic and ecclesiastical contexts. The workmanship presents a decidedly artisanal character, with individually modeled foliage, elaborate curls and a notably complex ornamental composition. The overall effect is that of a sculptural decoration of great visual impact, capable of giving character and prestige to a collection of decorative arts, to a classic interior or to a high-level restoration and furnishing project. The pair is suitable to be valorizable as an autonomous antique element, or as part of a larger historical decorative apparatus, compatibly with its original function. A set of great decorative suggestion, ideal for collectors of wooden sculpture, enthusiasts of antique decorative arts, antique dealers and interior designers seeking pieces with strong aesthetic identity.
