Gilt Fragment, Italy 19th c, 13x3x3

Gilt Fragment, Italy 19th c

This exquisite giltwood fragment from 19th-century Italy captures the elegance and opulence of classical European design. Once part of a larger architectural or decorative ensemble—perhaps a mirror frame, altar surround, or piece of furniture—it bears the refined carving and rich gilded surface characteristic of Italy’s decorative arts tradition.

The fragment features delicately hand-carved scrollwork and foliate motifs, its surface softly worn to reveal traces of red bole beneath the original gold leaf. The result is a beautiful interplay of texture and patina, offering an authentic glimpse into the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibility of the period.

Each curve and subtle marking tells a story of the maker’s hand. No two piece alike on found items. All dimensions approximate.

Dimensions: 13x3x3
