A RICHLY CARVED PARCEL GILDED EASEL IN THE ITALIAN TASTE
Circa first half of the 20th century
Item # 304EPV24W
An incredibly ornate parcel gilded easel from the first half of the 20th century, it features sea monsters at each leg and attractively carved moldings throughout. The nature of the carving is suggestive of the Venetian forms we often see from the early 20th century with a certain charming whimsical provincial naivety to the carving work throughout. It is very charming and is an incredibly dramatic way to place a painting.
Measurements: 84 1/4" H (as shown - height adjustable) x 23 5/8" D x 22 1/2" W
Condition Report:
Sturdy and stable. Old crack in one sea-monster at its tail (can be filled and colored upon request). Various scuffs and scratches to the mahoganized surface. Losses and chips to the giltwood throughout. A very nice presentation.
