Ornate moldings and woody stems” Art Nouveau mantel

Exceptional molded and carved solid cherry wood mantel, decorated with plant-inspired moldings and stylized foliage. The mantel features a canted pedestal and a shelf supported by two large curved jambs. Remarkable cabinetmaking quality, with carvings and moldings that hint at the vegetal style without fully illustrating it, in the manner of Eugène Gaillard.
