About
This beautiful, carved architectural panel was crafted in southern France, circa 1760. The unique, antique wall hanging sculpture features exquisite carvings with foliate on both ends. The carvings also include a laurel wreath in the centre with an arm holding a torch and a star nearby. The symbology of this appears to illustrate The Society of Torch and Laurel. This architectural element is in excellent condition and has its original grey painted finish. The board could be used as a wonderful king size bed headboard! The Torch represents the ability for each of us to serve as a guiding light for others and for the ability of education to serve as a beacon of light, eradicating ignorance. May scholars always remember that lighting the way for others brightens the path for themselves. The Stars pay homage to the ideals of our founding organization, the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, and the ideals of The Society of Torch & Laurel. The Gold star to the left of the Torch, represents The National Society of Collegiate Scholars commitment to scholarship, leadership and service. The Gold Star to the right of the torch represents The Society of Torch & Laurels pillars of excellence and perseverance. The centre star represents our shared commitment to integrity. May our scholars always use their talents to create positive outcomes for themselves and their communities. The Laurel serves to remind our scholars that they are part of a long and noble tradition of distinguished scholars. May these scholars uphold their place in history by living up to the honour bestowed upon them. Measures: 82″ W x 4″ D x 23″ H. SKU: 81-161
