Attaching the palmetta by nailing
If glue is not sufficient for fixing the palmetta, mechanical fastening can be used as an alternative. For this, it is advisable to choose small-sized brad or wire nails, as these are less conspicuous and preserve the structure of the exotic wood. It is recommended to pre-drill before inserting nails to avoid splitting the wood. Drive the heads of the nails below the surface using a countersink, then easily conceal them with wood filler. This method provides safe and durable fastening for the carved tympanum.
How to professionally apply oil to the wooden tympanum?
Treating the surface with indoor furniture oil is easy to execute and results in a natural and attractive finish. Before use, shake the oil thoroughly and apply it with a clean cloth over the entire surface of the wood. It is recommended to wait a few minutes for the wood to fully absorb the oil, which beautifully highlights the grain of the wooden carvings. Afterwards, the excess oil should be wiped off with a dry cloth to prevent runs or blotching. The surface of the carvings dries completely in about 24 hours and will be ready for use.
Escutcheon motif in ornamentation
The escutcheon motif originates from medieval heraldry and over time has become a distinctive element in furniture decoration. It often appeared in noble and bourgeois homes, either carved or painted, indicating the family's status and history. During the Renaissance and Baroque periods it was especially widespread, when decorating furniture played an important role in self-expression and representation. The shield pattern not only served as a decoration, but also had symbolic meaning, conveying historical and personal messages. It is still used today in the design of period furniture, often to emphasize respect for tradition and uniqueness.
