Antique Rococo Style Carved Wood & Gesso Surround

PRODUCT ID: INVICTUS

Extremely ornate, this striking antique surround is of a Rococo design that is characterised by an abundance of feminine form and decorations. Especially decorations such as curls, shells, acanthus leaves and rosettes

The moulded serpentine shelf is adorned with stylised gesso acanthus leaves and flowers, centred by a beautifully formed scallop shell cartouche. This motif is echoed in the C scroll cartouche, which sits above bold console jambs, also carved with flowers and curling acanthus leaves. The piece rests on robust foot blocks.
