I find this just about the most gorgeous and satisfying salvaged architectural element I have ever seen--antique, hand carved, and with at least two layers of paint on it, the top layer this fantastic old green, just about an exact match of the matte green arts and crafts glaze I love so much, though even more lush and satisfying for its crusty surface. Wow. The piece is 41 3/8" long, so about 3 1/2 feet, and, myself, I'd just hang it straight across the wall, perhaps just above a grouping of paintings or objects. Really, really fantastic.
41 3/8" l x 4 1/8" t x 1 5/8" d. Plenty of wear and all the better for it, with what looks to me an old repair to the top of one section, which I think adds to its texture rather than detracts. Very stable and sturdy and not shedding paint at all. There is one hook at center for hanging but a couple more would probably be good to add. Photos document the whole stretch of it through sequential detail views.
