Decorative ornament (2) - Pair of feminine terms

Pair of female carved wooden terms – Flanders, 17th century Beautiful pair of female carved wooden terms in strong relief, probably of Flemish origin and dating from the first half of the 17th century. The two figures are depicted with exposed torsos, adorned with a pendant necklace. A draped cloth at the waist extends into an abundant composition of deeply sculpted foliage. The uplifted faces, the hair treated in broad locks, and the vigor of the sculpture belong to the decorative vocabulary of late Renaissance and early Baroque of the Low Countries. The reverse sides are completely flat, showing that these were originally wall appliqués, likely integrated into a piece of furniture, woodwork, or architectural decoration. This type of female term is well documented in 17th-century Flemish furniture. Nice old dark brown patina with wear revealing the natural wood tone in places. Later suspension rings. Condition: antique state with wear, holes from old wood-boring insects, small losses and accidents, mainly at the lower extremities. The whole nevertheless retains a very handsome presence and an especially interesting antique patina. Please study the photographs, which are part of the description. Dimensions of each piece: H. 40 cm × W. 10 cm × D. 7 cm. Sold together as a pair. The photos are an integral part of the object descriptions and complement the presentation. Please examine them carefully before any commitment. The item will be carefully packaged and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery. Happy bidding
