18th Century, Italian Louis XIV Carved Giltwood Mirror

About the Item

18th century, Italian Louis XIV carved giltwood mirror The baroque mirror, made in Italy in the first half of the 18th century, has a rectangular frame in carved and gilded wood. The inner frame that surrounds the mirror is carved with palmette motifs. The background between the internal and external frame is embellished with an application of lacquered paper with a faux marble pattern. On it stand out refined gilded wooden elements carved in relief. Turns and phytomorphic elements are centered at the top by a head in bas-relief crowned by leaves. The mirror is coeval and has the natural oxidation of mercury characteristic of the time. This frame can be placed over a chest of drawers or a console or a fireplace, or in an elegant bathroom above the sink, but also used as a piece of furniture between paintings or between sconces. Its sober and elegant architecture makes it suitable for environments of ancient taste and equally among modern furnishings.
