Description
A striking pair of hand-carved giltwood wall brackets with bold architectural presence and sculptural detailing. These pieces channel classic Italian Florentine craftsmanship, with layered, faceted carving and a softly aged gold finish that reveals warm undertones of red bole beneath—adding depth and authenticity.
The silhouette is particularly strong: a gently curved top shelf supported by a tiered, tapering base with stylized acanthus and scroll-like forms. The carving has a chiseled, almost faceted quality reminiscent of mid-century interpretations of Baroque and neoclassical motifs—very much in the spirit of pieces attributed to Florentine workshops and later Hollywood Regency adaptations.
Perfect for flanking a mirror, displaying small objects, or adding symmetry to a wall vignette. They read equally well in traditional, Palm Beach Regency, or more eclectic interiors.
Florentine / Italian Baroque Revival, with echoes of John Dickinson's sculptural sensibility and Serge Roche's dramatic wall forms.
