Bring a touch of Continental charm to your interior with this beautifully carved pair of late 19th century oak portrait plaques. Featuring an idealised Renaissance gentleman and lady, these plaques add warmth and a little 19th century romance to any room.
Continental Elegance for Your Rustic Interior
This handsome pair of antique carved oak plaques offers a superb touch of European history and artistry. Crafted around 1880–1900, they reflect the Renaissance Revival tradition popular across South Germany and Austria, linking them to the fine Black Forest carving style.
Each panel features the profile of an idealised gentleman and lady set within circular medallions, beautifully framed by softly carved foliate borders.
Carved from solid oak, they possess a wonderful time softened patina. The surface has never been painted; the finish is simply an old, naturally aged wax polish that lends them an honest, tactile feel and highlights the crisp, detailed carving.
At 24cm square, they are easy to style! Hang them as a complementary pair in a hallway, library, or kitchen, or integrate them into a sophisticated gallery wall. Their fine detailing makes them a perfect addition to period or rustic country interiors.
We are committed to running an ethical and green business, ensuring these beautiful pieces are responsibly sourced and shipped to you using 100% recycled packaging for their safe arrival.
