Baroque style three-piece antique giltwood salon suite
£12,000
This wonderful Italian salon suite, replete with deftly carved giltwood frames and vibrant red upholstery, is a strikingly colourful example of Baroque extravagance.
This exceptional salon suite, crafted from giltwood and red velvet upholstery, was produced in Italy during the twentieth century in the utterly exuberant Baroque style. The settee features an ornately carved giltwood frame: the shaped crown of the seat is profusely pierced with classicising motifs, including scrolling acanthus leaves and a large central section featuring a vase and an anthemion crest. The apron below is similarly formed, as are the extravagantly adorned legs and armrests. The cushioned seat and back of the settee are finished with bright red velvet upholstery. The pair of matching armchairs are similarly formed, each with profuse carved giltwood detailing and vibrant red upholstery.
