Beautiful set of four matching antique gilt metal furniture mounts or appliqués featuring an ornate French Louis XV / Rococo Revival style with scrolling acanthus and foliate details.
Each piece has an aged gold/brass-tone finish and wonderful naturally occurring patina and wear. The reverse of each mount is hand-incised with the initials “AM.” The meaning of the initials and exact maker are unknown.
Each mount weighs approximately 4–5 oz (140 g) and has a substantial cast construction. The exact metal composition has not been tested. Each one is roughly just under 6 inches in height.
These were sourced from an antique shop in the Netherlands and were likely originally used as decorative furniture hardware on a cabinet, armoire, commode, bed, or similar piece. Small mounting holes remain present.
Set includes all four matching mounts shown. Exact age, metal composition, maker, and country of manufacture are unknown.
Vintage condition with expected surface wear, patina, discoloration and finish loss consistent with age. Please review photos closely for condition.
