This impressive architectural wall medallion features a sophisticated, multi-layered relief design that draws inspiration from Classical and Neoclassical motifs. At the center sits a lush, blooming floral rosette, surrounded by a beaded circular border and a secondary layer of interlocking quatrefoil scrolls and acanthus leaves. The entire composition is framed by a heavy, high-relief laurel leaf wreath, creating a powerful sense of depth and texture.

The piece is finished in a heavily aged, weathered gilt and cream palette. The surface displays a beautiful, intentional crackle glase (craquelure) and distressed rubbing that exposes warm terracotta-like undertones, giving it the authentic appearance of an architectural salvage piece from a historic estate. At 31 inches in diameter and 3 inches thick, this substantial medallion serves as a commanding focal point for a grand entryway, mantlepiece, or gallery wall.

  • Dimensions: 31” Diameter x 3” Depth

  • Material: Cast composition / Plaster-mix

  • Condition: Excellent vintage condition with purposeful distressing; the reverse includes a heavy-duty mounting bracket for secure hanging.
