This pair of architectural cornice valances features an ornate Neoclassical design, anchored by a central Medusa mascaron (face) relief. The central figure is flanked by intricate scrolled filigree and floral rosettes. Each piece is finished in a metallic gold gilt over gesso, showcasing a consistent weathered patina and a textured recessed panel. Designed for interior window treatments or as decorative wall ledgers, these valances include deep returns and integrated hanging hardware on the reverse.
