Interesting antique paper mache element fabricated in the Italian (cartapesta) or French (papier-mâché) tradition. Thought to be a finial for an architectural wall standard or processional standard for feast day parades. Intricately detailed surface on a hollow body; wooden stick and floral form escutcheon at the base where the pole would have been attached. Artisan made; no maker's mark.
Dimensions: overall, 6.5"W x 4"D x 21.5"H; rosette at base 4" Dia.
Very good as-found condition; original paint has worn away with time and use.
We have numerous terracotta, zinc, wood, and iron architectural salvage pieces on offer and many more coming in the next month as we have acqured 300+ pieces from this same European antique dealer. Just search on Chairish for "Chez Vous Antiques" to see all these antique treasures.
Free local pickup; otherwise shipped via economical UPS ground.
