Live auction will start in __ days and __ hours

Start price: £2

Buyer's Premium:

A decorative horizontal applique or swag in the neoclassical style, likely produced from cast composition or resin. The piece features deeply moulded relief decoration, including a large ribbon bow at the left terminal, which flows into a series of roses, smaller blossoms, and acanthus leaves. The item is finished with a pale blue or verdigris paint, accented by gilded highlights on the raised surfaces to create an antiqued appearance. This type of decorative element is frequently used as a furniture applique or as a crowning ornament for wall mirrors. No maker’s marks are visible; a small orange adhesive label with the handwritten number 433 is present on the central stem.


Condition report:

The piece appears in good overall condition. The finish is consistent with an intentionally aged decorative style. There are no significant chips, cracks, or visible repairs to the cast structure. Minor surface wear and dust are present within the recessed areas.
