About this work

Gun rack made of walnut, formed by two vertical standards carved with acanthus ornamentation, upon which four volutes are mounted one above the other at right angles for holding the guns. The standards are mounted in pairs on backboards, surrounded by pierced Louis XVI frames. The rack shows traces of dark brown paint, possibly applied later.
