This beautiful antique French pediment would originally have come from an armoire and dates from the 1800's. It would look stunning over a doorway or as a centre piece on a curtain pelmet. Fixed above a bed it could form part of a ciel de lit from which to drape curtains. It would also look superb on a console table displayed with other architectural treasures.
It is made of gilded metal. It has a beautiful central basket filled with roses, flowers and leaves. Beneath this is a bow with ribbontails and to either side a laurel leaf garland extends to form the 'arms' of the pediment.
The gilding has mellowed over the years to a lovely shade of old gold which still catches the light beautifully.
There are 3 holes in the mount for attaching to a wall.
The mount measures:- 42.5 cm (16.75 inches) wide x 13 cm (5.1 inches) high.
This is a stunning antique architectural pediment to add a château chic finishing touch to an interior. It is from a carefully selected collection of gorgeous antique French decorative pieces at 'La Belle Étoffe'.
