A rare architectural fragment from Flanders, carved in oak with striking detail and presence. Terms — elongated figures used as supports or decorative features — were a hallmark of Renaissance and Baroque design, blending classical inspiration with regional craftsmanship. This example, with its russet patina and bold carving, evokes the grandeur of 17th‑century interiors, where sculpture and architecture intertwined.
Provenance: Flanders (modern-day Belgium). 17th century. Terms originated in classical antiquity, often used as elongated figures or supports in architecture. In 17th‑century Flanders, they became popular decorative features in civic and domestic buildings, reflecting the region’s embrace of Renaissance and Baroque aesthetics. Oak, prized for its strength and fine grain, allowed carvers to achieve both durability and expressive detail. This fragment, discovered in attic‑found condition, offers a tangible link to the artistic ambitions of the Low Countries during a period of cultural flourishing.
