Product description
Pair of terracotta shelves depicting two male faces, made in Italy in the 1700s. Dimensions: diameter 23 cm, diameter 20 cm, height 28 cm. Antique ceramic shelves are fascinating objects that combine functionality with the aesthetics of the past. They represent a piece of furniture and craftsmanship history, and can add a touch of elegance and authenticity to any environment. They were often made of majolica or porcelain, materials that feature detailed decorations and vibrant colors. Craft techniques such as hand-painting, carving, and enamelling confer uniqueness to each piece. From Baroque to Art Nouveau, passing through Neoclassical, antique shelves reflect the artistic styles of different eras. Floral motifs, landscapes, mythological figures, and daily life scenes are common in the decorations. Important production centers include Italy (Castelli, Faenza, Naples), France (Limoges), Germany (Meissen) and Spain (Valencia).
