Antique Carved Wooden Angel Bracket Console from France, circa 1880
About the Item
Hand-carved in France, circa 1880, this wooden bracket console features a wonderfully executed winged angel beneath an angular entablature. The innocent visage of the cherub is augmented by the downward gaze, as he supports an arched molding above his head. Both wings of the angel are displayed, flanked by linenfold curtains that hang down from the arched molding. The angel is depicted as a half body carving, with his upper body rising from a magnificently sculpted acanthus cup. Behind the angel is a highly shaped molding with beveled edges (most likely not original). The shelf has a quarter round rim over a four-tiered step molding, which reduces the linear nature of the entablature (also probably added more recently. Our carved angel has a lovely cream color and can be used in any room of the house as a functional wall bracket console. It would also make a fantastic decorative accessory.

- Wide Antique Carved Wooden Eagle from France, Circa 1810Located in Dallas, TXWith a wingspan of five and a half feet wide, this wooden eagle has a commanding presence. Hand-carved in France, circa 1810, the eagle was crafted by a master-level woodworker. Notice how each feather has been carved with incredible detail, showing slight separations in the barbs that make up feathers. The eagle is presented with wings displayed, as if in the midst of flight. Both legs are tucked under the body, as you might see on a gliding bird. The beak is open with a large hole that runs through to the back side, possibly indicating that at one time the eagle held something in its mouth. When Napoleon became Emperor of the French in 1804, he brought about a striking shift in artwork and architecture, embracing the styles of ancient empires...Category
