19th C French or Flemish Carved Walnut Panel with Griffins stock #FSwallPlaque
A finely carved 19th-century Continental walnut panel featuring paired griffins flanking a classical tazza with fruit, framed by scrolling acanthus and a shield-form cartouche. The hand-stippled background adds depth and highlights the crisp relief. Excellent condition. Measures approx. 18.25" high × 14.75" wide. Ready to hang.
June's Thoughts,br> There’s something deeply satisfying about a piece like this—almost like owning a fragment of a grand Baroque cabinet without needing an entire room to match it. The griffins, the overflowing tazza, even the little shield at the top all echo the drama I love in large 18th-century walnut pieces, but scaled to a size that fits beautifully into a modern home. You don’t have to live in a château to enjoy that sense of richness; sometimes a single carved panel can give you the same joy. |
