Description :
This exquisite oval mirror is an authentic Italian piece dating from the 17th century, richly carved in wood and finished with its original gilding. The frame is adorned with a continuous garland of flowers and foliage, interspersed with delicate beading, creating a sense of depth and rhythm typical of Baroque craftsmanship. At the crest and base, larger floral motifs anchor the composition, adding emphasis and balance to the oval form.
The gilding shows a beautiful, time-worn patina with areas of wear and age-related losses, revealing the underlying gesso and wood. These traces of history give the mirror its unmistakable authenticity and character, while the glass plate displays age-consistent foxing that enhances its antique charm.
This mirror is a fine example of early Italian decorative arts, embodying the opulence and refinement of Baroque interiors. Both sculptural and functional, it will make a striking addition to any collection, whether displayed in a grand entryway, above a console, or as a statement piece in a refined living space.
