About the Item
A striking antique mirror richly adorned with hand-painted porcelain plaques, three-dimensional portrait busts, and malachite panels set within a giltwood frame. This impressive piece epitomizes the opulence and craftsmanship of 19th-century Continental decorative arts.
At the top corners, finely modeled and polychrome-painted porcelain busts depict a noble lady and gentleman in Renaissance attire, each projecting in high relief from ornate white and gilt scrollwork surrounds. Flanking the mirror are two tall hand-painted porcelain panels depicting romanticized hunting scenes with richly dressed figures on horseback set within lush, mountainous landscapes.
Smaller porcelain plaques featuring musical trophies and floral arrangements provide decorative accents at the upper and lower sections, lending a refined classical air. At the base, a malachite-veneered panel with applied gilt bronze foliate mounts adds a striking contrast to the porcelain elements.
The frame itself is composed of gilt and ebonized wood, retaining a beautiful patina consistent with age. The mirror plate appears to be original, with age-appropriate wear and light surface oxidation that enhances the antique character of the piece.
Dimensions: Approx. 32 inches by 42 inches
Condition: Overall very good antique condition with light wear to the gilding and minor age-related marks to the porcelain plaques. One or two small surface imperfections consistent with age.
A rare and elegant example that combines sculptural porcelain portraiture, finely painted plaques, and rich materials in a single decorative ensemble. Ideal for a formal interior, collection of 19th-century European porcelain, or as a statement mirror in a period room.
