Antique Giltwood Florentine Mirror, circa 1850

About the Item

From Italy, circa 1850, this giltwood Florentine mirror features a tremendous display of hand-carved curled leaves on multiple levels. The thick acanthus leaves have volute scroll cores and rough protuberances along the tips. There is also a small, scalloped shell at the base of the mirror. At the top is a large, cascading curled leaf with a beaded spine that extends outward farther than the rest of the foliage. The beveled mirror, which is antique but not original, is surrounded by a husked border. A lovely ornate mirror, our circa 1850 giltwood mirror is typical of the highly worked examples that have been made in Florence for hundreds of years. Parts of this mirror have a burnished gold finish which contrasts well against the more matte sections. This stunning Florentine mirror will make quite the visual impact on any wall.
