Antique French Mounted Carved Wood Fragment

Antique hand carved wood wing fragment mounted on a stand, sourced from a Parisian atelier. This sculptural element once formed part of a larger architectural or devotional carving, likely Italianate in style, and retains traces of its original gesso and gilding. The softly worn surface shows layers of age and handling, with gentle crackling and areas where the base wood is revealed. Later mounted on a stepped plinth, the piece now displays as a striking sculptural object.

This is a beautiful way to introduce texture, symbolism, and quiet historical presence to a room. Style on a console, pair with old books, or place in a study for a subtle nod to the classical salon interior. The scale and three dimensionality make it especially compelling.

Age appropriate wear includes minor losses, paint and gilding wear from time, and small irregularities consistent with hand carving. All are stable and authentic to the history of the piece.

France, 18th–19th century
