A PAIR OF RUSSIAN NEOCLASSICAL WALL CONSOLES ST PETERSBURG, LATE 19TH - EARLY 20TH CENTURY

A PAIR OF RUSSIAN NEOCLASSICAL WALL CONSOLES ST PETERSBURG, LATE 19TH - EARLY 20TH CENTURY

A pair of ceremonial wall consoles executed in the traditions of Russian Neoclassicism, inspired by the models of the workshop of Heinrich Daniel Gambs (1765-1831). Structurally, each console is conceived according to a strict architectural principle: a rectangular top with a moulded edge rests on two front supports joined by a curved lower stretcher.The bodies are crafted in carefully selected mahogany veneer, enhanced by a deep mirror-like polish. The frieze is decorated with an inlaid geometric band recalling the antique meander motif. The central section features a diamond-shaped panel with a gilt-bronze medallion framed by stylised laurel branches, forming a solemn imperial accent.The front supports are designed as herm figures with busts of winged genii executed in patinated bronze. The sculptural modelling of curls, facial features and wings demonstrates a high level of artistic casting. The legs terminate in bronze lion’s paw feet, reinforcing the symbolism of strength and stability. Gilt mouldings and rosettes create a striking contrast with the warm tone of the mahogany and give the composition a sense of completion.The present pair reflects the characteristic reinterpretation of the St Petersburg Empire tradition at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, when historical models of the Alexander I period were reproduced in the interiors of aristocratic mansions and ceremonial halls of the late Imperial era.Dimensions: Height: 83 cm; width: 110 cm; depth: 48 cm (each).Condition: Professionally restored. Overall good condition. Minor signs of age and use.Provenance: Private collection.
