Antique Ornate Wood Molding – Acanthus Leaf Design, 100 ½ x 4

Description :
This long antique carved wood molding showcases a beautifully detailed acanthus leaf and scroll pattern, emblematic of the Neoclassical and Victorian decorative styles. Measuring 100 ½ inches in length and 4 inches in width, this section was likely salvaged from an early 20th-century interior — perhaps a mantel surround, cornice, or door frame. The crisp hand-carved detailing beneath its white-painted surface highlights the layered craftsmanship typical of high-end millwork from this period.

This piece is ideal for architectural restoration, decorative repurposing, or as a statement wall accent, offering elegance and timeless ornamentation to any project.
