19th Century Wall Bracket Console with Gilt Bronze Mask and Satyrs
$5.100,00
This richly decorated wall console is a rare and fine 19th-century French interpretation of the Louis XIV style, crafted with intricate inlay work and adorned with finely cast gilt bronze mounts. Dating from the Napoleon III period (circa 1850–1880), this piece reflects the 19th-century passion for reviving the grandeur of the Sun King’s decorative arts.
The façade features elaborate arabesques in contrasting brass and dark red inlay, framed by lavish gilt bronze ornamentation. At the center, a striking female mask surrounded by roses and dolphins evokes classical allegory, while the upper corners are flanked by satyr heads — adding a bold mythological touch. A finely sculpted foliate finial completes the lower portion.
The structure is mounted on a sturdy wood base, and the original back iron brackets remain intact, confirming its wall-mounted purpose. Signs of age and wear on the surface and gilding are consistent with a 19th-century origin and add to its authentic charm.
This dramatic and elegant wall bracket is ideal for showcasing a bust, clock, or vase in a refined interior. It will appeal to collectors of French decorative arts and interior designers seeking statement wall pieces with historical character.
