Antique Italian Giltwood Mirror, Venice, 19th century
About the Item
Although Rococo originated in France in the 1730s, the style was pervasive, spreading throughout Central Europe. One area noted for exceptional Rococo creations was northern Italy, in particular, Venice, where this giltwood mirror was hand-carved in the 1800s.
The Rococo is known for its lively elements, represented in this mirror by the abundance of curves and motifs inspired by nature, such as shells, foliage, and flowers. A large, pierced crest tops the mirror, consisting of an attenuated leaf with C-scrolls and flowers. The flowers trail down the shaped border of the glass, terminating at the canted corners, just above textured C-scrolls and floral margents that adorn the sides. Borders of crenellation and ogee molding envelop the glass, which has subtly tapered sides that flank a curvaceous bottom edge. Beneath the sinuous bottom is a scalloped shell surrounded by additional C-scrolls and flowers. An exuberant version of a Venetian Rococo-style giltwood mirror, this beautiful mirror can be hung in any room of the house, from the hallway to a bathroom.

- Large Italian Giltwood Sunburst Mirror with Wooden Pendant SurroundLocated in Dallas, TXAlthough sunburst motifs were seen on small convex mirrors as early as the 15th century, it was not until the reign of Louis XIV, aka The Sun King, that sunburst mirrors became larger and more flamboyant. Our large Italian giltwood sunburst mirror with wooden pendant surround was hand-carved using antique materials in Northern Italy. Although the mirror is quite large (62 ¾ inches in diameter), the reflective surface is relatively small at 11 inches in diameter. It is encircled by a parcel painted black surround with cavetto molding. A series of wooden pendalogues (salvaged from a chandelier) with traces of a white finish are arranged in a circle along the edge of the surround. Radiating from beneath the oblong...Category
