Ornella French Provincial Wall Console, Cherub Corbel with Fir Top 100cm

A cherub bearing a curve of washed fir on his shoulders, the console that needs no legs at all.

Ornella is a wall console carried by a cherub corbel, a winged figure rising from acanthus leaves beneath a stepped capital, cast in magnesia composite with the look of aged plaster. Above him sits a demilune fir top, washed pale so the grain shows through.

At 100cm wide with no legs to sweep around, she gives an entry or hallway a full console surface while leaving the floor completely clear.

Why we love it

• ◆The cherub, a winged figure with tumbling curls, framed in feathers and acanthus
• ◆The aged plaster look, cast magnesia composite rubbed back to warm tones at the high points
• ◆The demilune top, washed fir in a soft half circle that sits flush to the wall
• ◆A clear floor, console styling with nothing underneath to trip a broom or a toddler

How to style it

Ornella turns a blank wall into an occasion.

• Mount her in the entry beneath artwork and let the cherub greet everyone who walks in
• Give a narrow hallway a console moment where a legged table would block the walk
• Style the top from our candle holders collection and let the light fall down the carving
• Pair her with the statuary in our sculptures collection for a full chateau corner

Care & Keeping

Dust the carving with a soft dry brush and wipe the fir top with a dry cloth, using coasters under anything wet. She belongs indoors, on a wall that can take proper fixings.

Because Ornella is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture, and grain are natural and add to the unique character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.
