Hand crafted in France circa 1780, and almost 7.5 feet tall, the large architectural elements depict two intricately carved wooden panels featuring a symmetrical floral design. Each panel showcases swirling, curved vines with detailed leaves and large blooming flowers in relief. The craftsmanship emphasizes organic forms, with the vines intertwining elegantly in a mirror-like composition. The floral motifs are meticulously rendered, with particular attention to the texture and layering of the petals and leaves. The overall style suggests a baroque or rococo influence, characterized by the fluidity of the lines and the ornate detailing. The aged wood has a natural patina, enhancing the antique feel of the pieces. The tall Louis XIV carved wall sculptures are in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorn a rich light oak patina. These carvings would be suited to an ornate interior, bringing a touch of historical elegance and craftsmanship.
