Pair of Petite Gilt Wall Brackets

These antique giltwood wall brackets were hand-crafted in Italy in the early 20th century in the delicate yet opulent style of Rococo design. Sculpted of wood and plaster with a lustrous gold finish, the petite brackets feature a base of swirling floral scrollwork and simple, shield-form shelf tops. On the backs of each are two inset keyhole brackets for secure installation.
