19thc Aesthetic Movement Massive Giltwood Mirror

About the Item

19th Century American Aesthetic Movement mantle mirror of exceptional proportions. Beautiful detail featurng three- dimensional layers of intricate designs of vines, bell flowers, leaves and beading. "The Aesthetic Movement, also known as “art for art’s sake,” permeated British culture during the latter part of the 19th century, as well as spreading to other countries such as the United States. Based on the idea that beauty was the most important element in life, writers, artists and designers sought to create works that were admired simply for their beauty rather than any narrative or moral function. The movement blossomed into a cult devoted to the creation of beauty in all avenues of life from art and literature, to home decorating, to fashion, and embracing a new simplicity of style."
