A magnificent 19th-century French oak pediment, entirely hand-carved with two majestic griffins flanking a central heraldic shield. Each mythical creature, half-lion and half-eagle, symbolizes strength and vigilance — timeless guardians from Gothic and Renaissance architectural traditions.
Carved from solid oak with remarkable craftsmanship, this decorative panel once adorned an antique piece of furniture or doorway. The natural patina of the wood, deep and warm, reflects centuries of history and artistry.
Whether displayed above a doorway, over a fireplace, or as a wall sculpture, this architectural fragment will bring a sense of grandeur and authenticity to any classic or eclectic interior.
