The warm gilt tones and intricate openwork bring a quiet, architectural presence to refined interiors.

These are surviving architectural salvage fragments, dating to the early 20th century. Each panel features a bird-and-flower motif carved in deep, multi-layered openwork, with traces of original gilt and a rich, heavy patina developed over a century. Minor wear consistent with age is part of their history, not a flaw to be corrected.

Each panel measures 40 cm W × 25 cm H (backplate); antique fragment 28 cm W × 13.5 cm H. Backplates and mounting hardware are new. Mounted with a 2 cm floating gap, the pair is ready to hang with pre-installed hardware. Display together as a pair, or separately as complementary pieces.

This listing is for a pair of two independent wall sculptures, each with its own backplate. One-of-a-kind pair. See less
