The exposed light-colored material reveals areas where the fragile plaster and gold leaf have naturally flaked away with age, confirming its status as an authentic antique salvage element. Such components were originally part of grand overdoor pediments, church altarpieces, or massive mirror frames. \u003c\/span\u003eThis lovely gilt wood hand-carved piece was purchased in Provence. It is perfect as a home accent or a unique addition to one's curated collection. This piece can also be used to create an objet d'art. It measures approximately 12.2\" x 7.5\" x 2\" and is a lovely display piece to hang or lean. Antique pieces like these are getting harder and harder to find.  Please note that the wear is consistent with its age —over 150 years old—and it is sold as found. This is wonderful for framing or displaying. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease email me with questions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monahan Papers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59869216047390,"sku":null,"price":148.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/6170\/1150\/files\/2026-08-3110.32.21.jpg?v=1788199702","url":"https:\/\/www.monahanpapers.co\/products\/1800s-gilded-wood-french-hand-carved-pediment","provider":"Monahan Papers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
