About the Item
The product of an immensely talented northern Italian woodworker, this beautiful oak socle pedestal dates to the 1600s. Intricate carvings in the style of the Renaissance embellish the façade and both sides of the pedestal, highlighted by the visually stunning abacus that is reminiscent of a velvety pillow. Beneath the “plush” entablature is the mascaron of a winged putto set inside numerous foliate margents. The thick leaves are positioned below spiral fluting and above repeating curled niches that grace the roughly rectangular plinth. A rich brown patina to the wood accentuates the wonderful carvings and gives them added depth. Our carved oak pedestal would make a wonderful addition to any room and is capable of supporting a small statue or bust.

17th Century Northern France Wedding Chest in Carved Oak
Located in Dallas, TX
Based on the facing portrait cartouches on the front facade, this chest was most likely presented to a couple for their wedding in 17th-century Northern France. The oak wood has a deep brown patina that accentuates the hand-carved frontage, depicting a man (on the left) facing a woman (on the right), surrounded by scrolls and a sprawling foliate margent. A quarter-round edge embellishes the lid, which can be opened to reveal deep storage, including a 5 ½ inch tall side compartment. Several thin layers of molding can be seen on the low profile apron above small bracket feet.
A chest like this would have been offered as a wedding dowry, most likely commissioned by the parents of the bride or possibly even by the husband himself. The chest would have been used to store valuables for the couple’s new life together, with the wrought iron handles on the sides allowing the chest to be easily transported. Our 17th-century wedding chest can be used functionally as a small storage chest for a bedroom or bathroom or displayed as a well-carved room...

19th Century Italian Renaissance Revival Carved Jardiniere Stand
Located in Forney, TX
A magnificent antique, circa 1880, Italian Renaissance Revival style jardinière with warm, rustic beautifully aged patina! (plant stand - indoor planter - conservatory or solarium garden box - flower display)
Born in Italy in the late 19th century, most likely originating in the Veneto region of Northern Italy (Venetian), exquisitely hand-crafted in medieval Italian Renaissance style / Henry II taste, having a removable metal interior liner with handles, resting in the well-made rectangular case with stepped molded edge, over paneled frieze adorned in intricate hand carved plaquette and foliate scrolled rinceaux relief ornamentation, rising on urn-form turned column supports, atop large platform shelf base with conforming stepped molded edge
further raised on bun feet with primitive inset casters.
Dimensions: (approx)
22" High, 40" Wide, 17.5" Deep
A wonderful example of functional art.
In good original antique condition, it's srong, sturdy and structurally sound with rich patina over the whole. Substantial wear consistent with age and indicative of use. Nothing that detracts from the aesthetics or functionality but only adds to the sophisticated character, European old world charm, elegant warmth and rich historical depth that can only be acquired over long periods of time.
Presents well, retaining original antique character marks throughout. Distressed, worn, faded finish, with evidence of old water damages, age related splitting in the form of crack to one decorative panel, and scattered minor losses. Partial seized casters. Heavily oxidized patinated metal basin...
