Step into 19th-century charm with this authentic polychrome carved wood panel, a decorative treasure that echoes the grandeur of Renaissance art.

This rare piece is part of a collector's series of 12 unique panels, each featuring a different central medallion with finely carved figures - philosophers, warriors or allegorical figures - surrounded by mythical and floral motifs.

This is one of twelve panels that most likely came from a prestigious piece of furniture or interior architecture, perhaps a scholar's cabinet or a private mansion's woodwork. At the time, the rediscovery of ancient and humanist motifs inspired craftsmen to combine symbolism, mythological figures and technical virtuosity. They carry with them the weight of time, the elegance of craftsmanship and the mystery of their origins.

The panel presented here shows a bearded man in profile, helmeted like a Roman or Greek figure, crowned by two majestic horns of plenty and flanked at the bottom by two winged griffins, symbols of wisdom and guardianship. The original polychrome finish - in shades of ochre, crimson and antique gold - lends the panel depth and elegance.

✨ Why it's special:

• Original 19th-century wood carving
• Rich Renaissance-style iconography
• One of 12 different panels — each is unique
• Perfect for a gallery wall, library, hallway, or refined bohemian decor
• Collectible and conversation-worthy
