This late 19th century wall bracket shelf features a sculptural demi-lune form with richly carved classical ornament. The exterior is finished in deep ebonized black, contrasted by giltwood detailing including draped laurel swags, acanthus leaf drops, and a central anthemion medallion. The molded cornice is decorated with repeating leaf and bead patterns, giving the piece strong architectural presence.
