Group of four mirrors. Tuscany, first quarter of the 18th century
About the Item
Group of four "fans" in carved and gilded wood. The molded frame enclosing the mercury mirror has a carved cyma with two opposing architectural brackets with a female face crowned by a fan in the center; from this descend on the sides plays of flowering branches alternating with curls and scrolls; at the base is placed a screaming mask in which the wrought-iron and gilded sheet metal candle-holding arm is grafted. In addition to the main "lights," small mirrors are present in the reserves of the cymatium and base.
This group of fans was most likely made in the early eighteenth century, expressing all the character of the early baroque. Indeed, the carving still shows that symmetrical rigidity clearly visible in the volutes and flowers that make up the sides, the profiles are curved and broken taking on clear architectural connotations in the cymatium and lower section. The iconographic repertoire is also in pure line with Baroque taste, starting with the broken tympanums and ending with the screaming mask, employed as accommodation for the candle-holding arm.
The design of the ventoline, which ah points of analogy with the Roman Baroque, allows us to point to Tuscany as the place of implementation
