About the Item

Pair of large oval-shaped baroque mirrors (II / II) Roman master carver of the seventeenth century Carved, lacquered and gilded wood Antique mercury silvered glass mirror 92 x 76 cm. (at the mirror 59 x 43 cm.) We present this pair of prestigious oval-shaped mirrors (of which a second pair is also available, of excellent executive level, which interprets the period of the Italian Baroque in an exemplary way. The works are in carved and gilded wood with a black lacquered background, richly decorated with a deep volute carving with particularly vigorous leaf motifs, coping and lateral ends embellished with cherub heads. This type of boldly carved volute acanthus mirrors have been produced in various centers in Italy including Lombardy, Veneto and especially Rome, starting from the 17th century. Our works in particular, which show a clear and unequivocal Baroque style design, are attributable to Roman workers still operating in the seventeenth century, revealing the direct formal influence of the architects and sculptors of the Bernini school. The density of the decoration and the strong contrast of the ebonized wood that highlights the gold carvings are in fact typically Roman elements in their conception, and are characteristic of the evolution of the Baroque style of the city of the second half of the seventeenth century. Even the pomp of the decorations was well suited to the sumptuous interiors, of a representative living room of a Roman palace for which they were probably conceived, and which must have struck the visitor for the richness of detail and attention to detail. The state of conservation is very good. There are small defects and wear, in keeping with the time, which do not affect its beauty. The works, like all our proposed objects, are accompanied by an expertise of photographic authenticity in accordance with the law. We personally take care of the professional packaging and organize the transport of the purchased works, both for Italy and abroad, through tracked and insured carriers. For any information, do not hesitate to contact us.

Angels Floral Garland Maratta Paint Oil on table Old master 17th Century Italian
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Pair of angels with floral garland and cartouche with family motto 'Pulchriora latent' Workshop of Carlo Maratta (Camerano, 1625 - Rome, 1713) Dated on parchment, right: 1697 oil on the table (94 x 84cm./ in frame 105 x 95 cm.) This magnificent composition, depicting two little fluttering cupids intent on holding up a garland of flowers, can be traced back, both for the stylistic characteristics and for the compositional taste, to a master active in the fervid seventeenth-century Baroque Rome. One of the two cupids is about to grab the bow of the garland with his head facing downwards, while with the other hand he shows a parchment which bears, in addition to the date of execution, the Latin expression "Pulchriora latent" ("The the most beautiful things...
