About the Item

A late 16th Century, refined Italian wall mirror made of hand carved Limewood from an antique villa near Verona, in good condition. The frame is flanked by a pair of intricately carved Ionic columns, each faux-finished in a Venetian green marble effect. The inner structure features a deeply set, gilded dentil molding, encased within a double frame. This was faux finished in a green Venetian marble patina. The front of the surround has finely carved scrolling leaves on a green background. Limewood was a favored medium during the Renaissance for its lightness and ease of carving, it was used to achieve the frame's delicate detailing. The mirror remains in good original condition, enhancing its historical character. The antique finish mirrored glass is not original. Minor fading, scratches due to age. Wear consistent with age and use. Circa 1580, Italy. Interior: 50" H x 34.5" W
