This pair of large trophy panels have Neoclassical motifs (another hallmark of Louis XVI) painted in white over a blue background. The panels are highly shaped with thick molding painted in white.

Both trophies have been carved in a similar manner, with a large Neoclassical grouping suspended from a pierced roundel by crinkled ribbon. In the middle of the ribbon is a laurel wreath that encompasses a quiver of arrows intersecting over a fluted torch. Branches of oak and laurel leaves are intertwined throughout the crossed items. A unique decorative architectural, our pair of large Louis XVI style trophy panels can be displayed on a living room or game room wall. Although they were originally designed to hang in a horizontal fashion, they could be hung vertically (see photos). See less
