18th Century Italian Gilded Tree of Life Sculpture with Figures – Hand Carved Wood on Lucite Base

18th Century Italian Gilded Tree of Life Sculpture with Figures – Hand Carved Wood on Lucite Base

Magnificent and rare, this 18th century Tree of Life sculpture is hand-carved from wood and finished in luminous 22k gold gilding. Originating from a grand Italian villa, the sculptural relief once formed part of an elaborate frieze encircling a formal room. The intricately rendered figures nestled within the branching Tree of Life evoke symbolic beauty and spiritual significance, typical of Baroque and Rococo decorative traditions.

Now mounted on a custom Lucite base for contemporary display, this antique Italian artwork is a striking blend of historic craftsmanship and timeless symbolism. A showstopping piece for collectors of religious art, 18th century Italian sculpture, or gilded architectural fragments, this sculpture offers both decorative and historical significance.
