Rare Antique by Master Carver Luigi Frullini the Devil

19th century
For Sale by Karen Tarleton
Description

This is a very RARE antique by Master Carver Luigi Frullini which is called Diavolini (little devil). There is a Bronze attached to the corner of Palazzo Vecchietti in Florence by Flemish sculpture Jean de Boulogne better know as Giambologna. The story behind it is quite fascinating.

Luigi in 1876 was awarded the cross of the knights of the crown, the highest distinction of the Kingdom of Italy. He obtained commissions from Queen Victoria and the Grand Duchess of Russia.

FAQs

Originating in the mid-19th century, Italian Renaissance Revival woodcarving drew inspiration from 15th and 16th-century motifs, incorporating detailed grotesque figures, mythical creatures, foliage, and classical architectural elements into decorative wall supports and furniture.

High-end 19th-century Italian carvings were typically crafted from dense hardwoods such as walnut or chestnut, selected for their fine grain, structural integrity, and capacity for holding intricate, crisp decorative detail.

Authentic Florentine carvings from this period exhibit deep undercut relief work, naturalistic anatomical detailing, hand-tool marks visible on unpolished reverse surfaces, and a rich, aged patina within recessed areas.

A decorative wall bracket serves as an architectural accent in a hallway, entryway, or library, functioning as an elevated mount for displaying a classic bust, ceramic vessel, or small sculpture against a plain backdrop.

Dusting regularly with a soft, dry brush keeps carved recesses free of debris, while a light application of high-quality beeswax polish nourishes the timber and protects the original surface finish.
