18th Century Italian Baroque Period Giltwood Mirror
About the Item
This exceptionally carved Baroque period Italian mirrored mercury glass giltwood wall hanging / mantel mirror captures the reason why we love European antiques so much. Nothing adds character to a piece like the time-worn, natural patina that only time can bring.
Born in Italy in the 18th century, richly ornamented with hand carved and sculpted ornate acanthus reliefs, intricate foliate ornamentation, undulating scalloped pie-crust trim, bordering the solid gilt wood frame. Some areas of wear and finish loss add warm, rustic charm.
Over the last approximately 300 years, the original mirrored mercury glass plate has developed a fascinating beautifully aged distressed patina, with scattered dark age spots, oxidation and various patinated imperfections, that does not detect from the display, but only adds to the aesthetic appeal and overall authenticity of this remarkable mirror.

By Juan De Mesa
Located in Forney, TX
A scarce Baroque Period Spanish altarpiece retablo / reredo, by (attributed) Luis Salvador Carmona (1708-1767), depicting thorn crowned Christ crucified / Cristo crucificado hand carved, polychromed wood with forged iron nails, mounted on later plaque.
This rare antique religious work / object of art, circa 1750, most likely commissioned by the Catholic Church of Spain, destined to be prominently displayed as an altarpiece / retablo or as part of a much larger reredo, directly behind the main altar at a Spanish or Continental European Catholic Church (French, Italian, Iberian, Portuguese)
The Crucified Christ, displayed mounted on a later faded red fabric upholstered shaped backboard plaque with textured gilt border. The exceptional hand sculpted, carved, gessoed, polychrome painted figure depicting bloodied Jesus, with crown of thorns atop his head, only wearing a undulating shaped cloth around his loin, arms extended and feet crossed, spear head form iron nails through both. The verso covered in an old paper printed backing with metal hook hardware at top for wall hanging.
