Pair Baroque Girandoles

About the Item

This is a very unusual pair of late 17th or early 18th century Italian Baroque Girandoles. The girandoles feature a finely executed carved gilt wood frame that is surmounted by a finely carved and gilt acanthus leaf crest. The acanthus leaf candle stems are also finely carved and original to the girandoles. The mirror plates appear to be original to the girandoles and are beautifully patinated with some anticipated losses to the silver. The gold leaf appears to be original with the wonderful red bole showing through in places. Girandoles of this size and form are uncommon, especially in their nearly original condition. These mirror would add depth and authenticity to any interior in which they were placed.

  • Louis XV Giltwood Mirrored Girandoles
    Located in New Orleans, LA
    This incredibly rare pair of Louis XV-period giltwood mirrored girandoles capture the grandeur, grace and opulence of the Rococo movement in the decorative arts. Each opulent mirror is exquisitely framed with voluminous flourishes of naturalistic motifs exemplary of the Louis XV era’s organic, deliberately asymmetrical stylings. Holding four candles each, these outstanding mirrored girandoles would have decoratively flanked a room of the period elegantly, illuminating the giltwood lustrously and providing ambient light reflected in the mirrored glass. Mirrors have long played an integral role in decorative design, often serving as focal points of a room. Dating back to the 13th century, the first French looking glasses were very small, yet enormously precious. Because these early mirrors...
