About the Item

Antique Venetian Cheval Mirror with Carved Giltwood Frame. A beautiful antique cheval (or dressing) mirror featuring a richly aged glass with slight foxing, set within a rectangular giltwood frame topped by an ornate floral crest. The angle of the mirror is adjustable via its original thumb screws, adding both charm and functionality. The piece is supported by a period lyre-shaped giltwood and gesso show frame, with elegant sabre-shaped uprights adorned with scrolling foliage. A central cross stretcher joins the uprights and features an attractive scallop shell motif at its centre. The base is skilfully carved with four mythical dolphin-shaped legs, each terminating in brass castors. A stunning and highly decorative mirror that remains functional and full of character. In good condition for its age, with minor gesso losses in places and light foxing to the mirror plate. The mirror on its own measures 110cm x 62cm wide.

18th Century, Venetian Baroque Carved Giltwood Mirror
Located in IT
18th Century, Venetian Baroque Carved Giltwood mirror This mirror was made in Venice, Italy, in the second half of the 18th century. The frame, in carved and gilded wood, has the characteristics of the Venetian baroque. The internal wooden band, with 90-degree angles in the lower portion and with a cambered and curvilinear profile in the upper part, is carved in vegetable-shaped bas-reliefs. At the top a rich cymatium encloses another mirror. Rich perforated volutes, rocaille and phytomorphic elements, create movement to the whole and streamline the mirror making it graceful. To crown, there is a floral element. Also, below the frame includes a small mirror, while on the sides continue the friezes carved with flowers, leaves and scrolls rocaille. This small mirror, very refined and of great decorative effect, can be easily placed in different environments, placed over consoles or antique drawers...
