Neoclassical friezes from the early 19th century, carved and gilded wood
Period: Early 19th century
These two friezes depict classic triumphs consisting of intertwined lances, pikes, trumpets, and flags behind Roman armor, inspired by classical parietal decorative motifs. Very popular in the Renaissance, they returned to vogue in Neoclassicism, after the discoveries of Herculaneum and Pompeii, especially during the Empire, which favored war themes. They were mainly used for wall decorations.
They are currently mounted on patinated bronze-colored panels, framed; but it is possible to easily disassemble them for any use.
Central Italy manufacture, early 19th century.
Measurements: 48x28, with painted and patinated faux bronze wooden panel cm h 67x47
