$945.0013"H x 38.50"W x 2.63"D
Dimensions: 13” H x 38 ½” W x 2 ⅝” D
Italian 18th century (circa 1750) carved wood architectural pediment to complete a doorway or headboard, hand-painted in a striking combination red and blue with parcel gilt accents to highlight the scrolled elements. The main body of the work features a bold red ground that is streaked with veining like an exotic marble, punctuated at the bottom corners with two raised panels in another faux marble technique using streaks of blue. High-relief carvings along the top crest project with exuberant acanthus, scrolled, and swag motifs covered in a magnificent gold leaf to balance the horizontal orientation. The left-side scroll is missing and the wood variably patinated but the overdoor accessory remains an exciting addition to any interior for any number of decorative placements. One eye-hook on the back for hanging. We believe this to be in good antique condition considering its age, and any visible signs of wear are captured in the photos.

Portuguese 18th Century Carved Stone Column
$6,500.0039.50"H x 16"W x 15.25"D
Dimensions: 39 ½” H x 16” W x 15 ¼” D
A fabulous 18th century carved stone column from Portugal, best described as Gothic or Romanesque in style, using the familiar acanthus motif around the capital. By the artist’s hands and tools the stone has been shaped to incredible depth within the folds of the leaves as they spread across the circumference. The abacus (the flat top surface) is rather irregular in shape either by time or being extracted from the original architecture. The square plinth base is similarly affected as the top in areas of loss and discoloration, which has been gently cleaned to appreciate the natural color and textures of the stone. Today it would make an extraordinary pedestal to uplift a garden urn or vase whether used inside or on the patio.
