About the Item

This pair of 18th century French carved wooden column capitals showcases exceptional craftsmanship and richly expressive ornamentation. Hand-carved from solid wood, each capital features deeply modeled acanthus leaves, scrolling volutes, and classical detailing inspired by Corinthian forms. Traces of original gilding remain throughout the surface, creating a warm contrast against the aged wood and emphasizing the depth of the carvings. Natural wear, surface cracks, and patina reflect centuries of age, enhancing their authenticity and sculptural character. Once architectural elements, these capitals now function beautifully as decorative objects or display stands for small sculptures, vessels, or books. Their compact scale and strong visual presence make them ideal for consoles, shelves, or pedestals. Both historically significant and visually striking, this pair brings architectural drama and timeless elegance to curated interiors.
