A Whimsical Painted Italian Architectural Element fitted as a Bookshelf with gilded Ionic columns on either side, arched front with later bronze mirror back. Circa 1820 . Romantically, we envision the decor and appointment of fine European homes during the 18th & 19th centuries as simply elegant & whimsical as is the case with this built-in wall shelf. But, there was utility involved as well. The Back plate mirror of these shelves as well as the gilding of the ionic columns would serve to amplifly the candle lighting at dinners, & evening soirées. The large piece with its mirrored backplate would also afford some protect against drafts.   Objects define our past. We carry them forward, curate, care for them, repurpose them --for our enjoyment & so that they will be preserved for future generations. link: https://www.gardencourtantiques.com/shop/whimsical-painted-italian-architectural-element-fitted-as-a-bookshelf-with-gilded-ionic-columns-circa-1820/ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #architecturalelement #boiserie #wallshelves #bookcase #wallshelf #ionic #gilt #painted #paintedfurniture #italianantiques #19thcentury #mirrored #mirroredbookcase #curation #sfantiques #homedecor #SF #sanfrancisco #interior_design #instainteriordesign #decorativeantiques #instainterior #interiors #interiordesignideas #antiqueshop #antiques #interiordecorating  #interiordesigner #steampunkdecor #traditionaldecor (at Garden Court Antiques) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoW9lIWg9f1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5kqjhejw7kmb

Faces on places...I think my interest in sculpting these kinds of things, began with seeing ancient Celtic carvings in book's when I was in middle school. This eventually lead to me spending vast amounts of time in quite a few library's, exploring the world's past through books and discovering the art of Egyptians, Japanese, and Europe, and others! At some point I started noticing victorian designs, like Art Nouveau, Gothic Revival. I especially love carved furniture and sculpted details on buildings. My fascination with antique griffin's, gargoyles and the green Man, became the basis for my own creations, the collection of works under Cast Shadows Studio. . . #Carvedface #GreenMan #facesonplaces #keystone #Victoriansculpture #caststone #RichardChalifour #CastShadowsStudio #architecturaldetail #architecturalsculpture #architecturalelement #gardenart #Gardenfeature #Sculpture #artwork #Etsyartist #gothic #artnouveau (at Niantic, Connecticut)
