DESCRIPTION

An impressive and exceptionally large 20th-century Brazilian pietre dure-style marble panel, depicting two toucans amongst tropical foliage and trees.

 

The composition is formed from contrasting coloured stone and marble, set against a pale marble ground within an arched reserve. The panel is housed within a substantial carved and decorated frame, giving the piece considerable architectural and decorative presence.

 

Originating from Bahia, Brazil, this is a particularly striking decorative work, standing 133cm high and almost a metre wide. The combination of its large scale, exotic bird subject and natural stone construction makes it an impressive statement piece for an entrance hall, orangery, garden room or other large interior.

 

The piece is extremely substantial and heavy, weighing approximately 60kg. The rear construction incorporates a projecting section which appears to have been designed to allow the panel to be recessed or incorporated into a wall or studwork.

    ABOUT ALSO

    Thank you for viewing this piece from ALSO Antiques.

     

    We carefully select antique furniture and decorative objects for their quality, craftsmanship, character and individuality. Our tastes are broad, and we’re happy to be led by the piece rather than a particular period or style. Above all, we choose things we genuinely admire and would be happy to have in our own home.

     

    Every item is individually inspected, researched and professionally photographed, with clear descriptions and honest condition reports to help you buy with confidence.

     

    We believe good furniture should have a long life. Choosing antique keeps well-made furniture and existing materials in use, and we favour sympathetic restoration that preserves the patina and character acquired over generations.

    AUTHENTICITY & CONDITION

     

    We strive to describe every item as accurately and honestly as possible. Statements regarding age, attribution, origin and provenance are offered in good faith and represent our professional opinion based on the information available at the time of listing.

     

    As all of our items are antique or vintage, signs of age and use should be expected. Old repairs, knocks, wear, variations in colour and other minor imperfections are often part of a piece’s history and character. Where condition affects its integrity, appearance or usefulness, we will endeavour to make this clear in the description.
