Pair of Italian Rococo-Style Giltwood Appliques, 18th century, deeply carved as ribbon-bound roses, signed indistinctly on the back, and bearing an old Christie's auction tag, h. 43", w. 7-1/4", d. 4".

Both appliques are structurally sound; the backs have been reinforced with wood and steel supports with a wooden patch repair to the center of one back. One leaf on one applique and three leaves on the other have been repaired from the back with well-done gilded touch-ups to the front. Both appliques exhibit some small shrinkage cracks, wormhole damage, and scattered nicks and losses throughout - as are to be expected with age and use.
