Dealer notes
A rare and enchanting pair of 19th-century Venetian boiserie doors, with all the soul and patina that only centuries can bestow. Salvaged from a noble palazzo, each door is comprised of three raised and shaped cartouches, each hand-painted with delicate rocaille scrollwork and romantic floral bouquets on a warm, moss-olive ground. The frames retain their original distressed finish in a soft, time-worn Verdigris green, with traces of the original white and gilt highlighting the carved moldings - a breathtaking testament to age, as seen in the close-up details. The paint exhibits a beautiful craquelure, gentle chipping, and layered history that speaks to their authenticity. The original brass escutcheons remain in place. These are not reproductions - they are true architectural antiques with an evocative, romantic presence. Perfect as decorative doors, dramatic wall panels, sliding doors for a primary suite, or as a breathtaking headboard installation in a grand entry or bedroom. A pair of such poetic, untouched condition is exceptionally hard to find. For the connoisseur of true Italian patina and Venetian decay Dimensions: Height: 80 in Width: 19 in Depth: 3 in Sold As: Set of 2 Style: Louis XV Materials and Techniques: Wood, Brass Place of Origin: Italy Date of Manufacture: 19th Century Condition: Distressed Wear consistent with age and use. .
