Item Description
A wonderfully decorative late 17th or early 18th century Baroque carved wooden wall or door garland, richly embellished with seven winged putti heads amongst scrolling foliage, flowers and bold ornamental scrollwork.
Beautifully hand-carved with expressive individual faces, the garland retains much of its original character, with surviving polychrome decoration in muted greens, reds and golds. The wonderfully aged surface has developed a rich patina over centuries, with attractive wear and traces of earlier painted finishes adding to its charm.
Possibly originally conceived as an elaborate architectural decoration or doorway surround, the garland has an impressive presence, standing over four feet high. The reverse reveals its traditional timber construction. A striking and unusual piece of early Baroque decoration, equally effective displayed above or around a doorway, or mounted against a wall as a sculptural feature.
Condition: Good antique condition for its considerable age, with expected losses to the carving, areas of flaking paint, surface wear and signs of historic repairs, all contributing to its wonderfully timeworn appearance.
Dimensions: Height: 125.5 cm Width: 101 cm Internal opening: approximately 56–60 cm wide
