Antique 18th Century French Overdoor Plaque/Pediment. Procurred from a fine European estate, this circa 1780 overdoor panel is carved from limewood with applied gesso and gold leaf.
Heavy florishes and a scallop motif are resplendant across the surface. A round, gold medallion bears the initials M & A. The ground color is a warm, mottled gray brown. The plaque is in fine condition for its age barring a few losses of gesso here and there. Use it above the entrance to your "private family chapel." or prop it against a wall to just sit pretty.
