Pair of Italian hand-carved wall consoles with putti - 40...

Offered at auction: an exceptional, highly decorative and imposing pair of wall consoles made from high-quality solid wood, crafted in Italy around the mid-20th century (circa 1950). These sculptural wall shelves immediately stand out for their generous size and impressive Baroque appearance. The consoles form a so-called pendant pair (a harmonious left- and right-facing set). They are masterfully hand-carved and decorated with expressive winged putti. The figures are set within a rich composition of hand-painted floral and acanthus-leaf motifs. The warm, classic tones contribute to the pieces’ rich, historical ambiance. Thanks to their sturdy solid-wood construction, the consoles are substantial in weight and make a grand statement in any room. They have flat backs and are ready to be mounted directly on the wall. These pieces are ideal as regal pedestals for large sculptures, antique clocks, or other unique collectibles in a refined classic, eclectic, or vintage interior.
