A richly carved pair of vintage wooden wall plaques featuring overflowing fruit baskets, leafy crowns and dramatic openwork scrolls. Their warm ochre, russet and green tones give them the character of traditional European decorative woodwork.
Each plaque is individually carved with a different basket pattern and arrangement of fruit, surrounded by bold scrolling forms. Incised lines, punched details and hand-applied color bring additional texture to the wood, while the openwork construction creates depth and shadow when displayed on a wall.
Sourced in Portugal, the pair has a wonderfully aged, rustic appearance with visible wear and cracking that has developed over time. Beautiful displayed together in a kitchen, dining room or among a collection of European folk and vintage wall art.
Sold as a pair.

Material: Carved and painted wood, metal hanging hardware
Condition: Good vintage decorative condition with age-related cracks and separations in the wood, small losses, surface wear and areas of paint loss
Dimensions: 11 in H × 8.25 in W × 1 in D each
