Stunning pair of floating consoles, Art Deco style and period. The mosaic of bright yellow and black enameled glass tesserae that make them up is arranged following their semicircular outline. They are meticulously clad in their entirety. They are cemented to the wooden core. Although they are floating, they have a central foot, also following curved lines, characteristic of the style in which they are inscribed. Yellow is the main color, although the top is outlined with a border of black tesserae, which defines the pieces in a very sophisticated way.

This refined pair combines the geometric precision characteristic of the style with a play of vibrant colors, reflecting the influence of the new materials and decorative techniques of the period. The choice of materials not only highlights the aesthetic richness of the design, but also brings a subtle sheen that varies with the light, evoking the opulence of mid-20th century interiors. In this late stage of Art Deco, a transition towards simplicity without renouncing luxury can be appreciated, with a greater influence of modern trends that would give way to contemporary design.

Ideal for both indoors and outdoors.
