Carved and gilded wood.
Measurements: 24 x 26 x 5 cm.
An ornamental set consisting of four Corinthian capitals, crafted from carved and gilded wood, designed to be mounted on pilasters. The pieces come in two sizes, arranged in pairs with matching designs, allowing for a harmonious and balanced architectural arrangement.
Their composition draws inspiration from the classical repertoire of the Corinthian order, characterized by the decorative richness of acanthus leaves and the development of plant motifs. The gilded finish enhances the relief of the carving and adds luminosity, evoking the sumptuous character of 18th-century interior decorative schemes. The flat back confirms its suitability for an architectural support, facilitating its installation flush against a wall surface.
