French 19th C. Carved Fragment, 6.5 ft Long | Item# 1953

79"width 3.5"depth 20.25"height

A French carved wood fragment from the early 19th century. This antique wall decoration from France has an overall oblong, just shy of 6.5 feet in length, having a horizontally positioned shape, with a level, wooden top rail draped with several smaller swagged ribbon carvings, and a larger three-dimensional, hand-carved swagged wreath in sunflower and foliage motif below, which gathers at center with a bow. This piece has traces of gilt throughout, with remnants of red green paint (primarily along the top rail), and a wonderfully aged patina. This early 19th century French plaque, with it's elongated shape, would look lovely hanging in a living or dining room as an architectural focal point.

Price: $3,650.
