Depth: 15'' 38cm
Imposing architectural fireplace from Italy, finely carved in dark walnut and featuring two powerful antique-style atlantes supporting an elaborately decorated entablature. The bearded male figures, sculpted in the round, show expressive musculature and intense features, evoking the mythological Titans or Atlas in a pose of strained support.
The central frieze is intricately adorned with scrolling foliage, clusters of fruit, winged female masks, and stylized birds, in the mannerist taste of the 16th-century Italian Renaissance. A central female head with a radiating headdress likely symbolizes a solar allegory or classical personification.
The walnut’s warm and rich patina highlights the sculptor’s virtuosity: contrasting textures, animated drapery, naturalistic vegetal forms, and powerful facial expressions.
Made in Italy circa 1880, this exceptional piece reflects the European historicist revival of the late 19th century, drawing from classical and Renaissance themes for grand interior commissions.
