18th-century Venetian Mirror in Carved and Gilded Wood with a Crest at the Top

About the Item

This is a magnificent 18th-century Venetian mirror, featuring an elaborately carved and gilded wooden frame. The frame showcases an intricate Rococo design, with dynamic scrollwork, floral motifs, and flowing curves that highlight the refined craftsmanship of the period. The surface of the gilding has developed a rich patina, adding depth and character to the piece. At the top, the mirror is crowned with a detailed heraldic crest, featuring a shield adorned with a helmet and a figure, likely symbolizing nobility or a distinguished family lineage. The glass itself is original, showing signs of age through its oxidized surface and scattered marks, which enhance its authenticity. This mirror represents a fine example of Venetian decorative arts, combining functionality with high artistic value, and would have been a prestigious item in a noble or aristocratic residence.
