A striking pair of oversized vintage wall shelves combining richly distressed wood with beautifully detailed pressed tin panels. At an impressive 79 inches wide each, these substantial shelves have wonderful architectural presence and would make a dramatic statement in a dining room, great room, entry, kitchen, or above a long console or sideboard.
Each shelf features its own distinctive pressed-tin design:
Shelf One features repeating fleur-de-lis-inspired motifs with ornate scrolling details. The aged tin displays a wonderful variation of muted, timeworn tones that complement the warm distressed wood framework.
Shelf Two features elaborate classical urn and foliate motifs rendered in a softly aged palette of ivory, gray, charcoal, and black. The decorative tin has a beautifully weathered appearance that adds depth and Old World character.
The shelves are framed and divided by substantial turned and carved wood supports, with gently shaped lower aprons and long wood display surfaces. Their aged finishes, variations in color, and visible wear give the pair the authentic character of architectural pieces collected over time.
With their exceptional 79-inch length, these would be especially beautiful displayed together on opposing walls or stacked vertically on a large feature wall. They could also serve as dramatic display ledges for artwork, pottery, antique books, architectural fragments, or a collection of decorative objects.
These were purchased used/as antiques at the Paul Michael Home Antique Gallery in Round Top Texas (one of them still has the tag on it) buy were too long for my space. There are a few scuffs but they add to the character. There is an inscription on the back "Ruby Love" - it is unknown what this means.
