Pair of 17th-century theater drapes in carved polychrome wood, depicting an elegant knotted drape adorned with large golden tassels. The skillful carving of the pleated fabric and the richness of the original polychromy give these pieces a particularly theatrical character. Very beautiful preserved antique patina.
18th-century console decorated with “arte povera” elements representing garlands of flowers and vases filled with bouquets, on which rests a large green marble slab with attractive curves. The whole piece is supported by four deer legs decorated with gold leaf borders.
This pair of small Louis XV style tables is made of black lacquered wood, each topped with a tabletop framed by a gold border and decorated with chinoiserie motifs: floral patterns, sinuous branches, and birds, rendered in soft shades of green, ochre, and red. The whole rests on four slender, slightly curved legs. Although they form a pair, each table has a distinct decoration.
A small “indiscreet” bollard consisting of a three-seater seat upholstered in animal hair in the traditional style, all on a network of twenty stiff springs… a triple backrest also separated by three padded, buttoned rails topped with a Medici vase in gilded wood, entirely covered in Rubelli jacquard fabric, with Declercq trimmings.
