About the Item

This stunning mirror is a true masterpiece of late 19th-century Florentine craftsmanship, embodying the eclectic style that flourished during this period. Unique in its design and execution, this piece is a testament to the artistry and opulence of its era. This extraordinary mirror exemplifies the pinnacle of late 19th-century Florentine craftsmanship, embodying the exuberant spirit of the Eclectic period. The intricately carved wooden frame showcases a masterful blend of styles, combining Baroque and Rococo elements with a distinctly Florentine flair. The frame is a tour de force of wood carving, showcasing the exceptional skills of Florentine artisans. Intricately carved and adorned with genuine gold leaf, the frame features a mesmerizing array of baroque-inspired elements. Twisting torchon motifs intertwine with elaborate rocaille ornamentation, while delicately carved rosettes add a touch of floral elegance. At the heart of this magnificent piece is a central round mirror, flanked by an arrangement of smaller mirrors that follow the frame's curvaceous form. This innovative design creates a captivating interplay of reflections, amplifying the mirror's visual impact and functionality. The mirror's silhouette is further enhanced by exquisitely carved ramage (foliate scrollwork) adorning the sides, interspersed with scrolls and petite rosettes. A unique feature that sets this piece apart is the small shelf integrated into the center of the frame, perfect for displaying a cherished objet d'art. This extraordinary mirror boasts an illustrious provenance, having graced a private collection in a villa in Fiesole, a picturesque town overlooking Florence. Adding to its allure, the villa was once home to a renowned silent film actress, imbuing the piece with a touch of cinematic glamour. Ideal for making a dramatic statement in an entryway, above a fireplace, or as the centerpiece of a living room, this mirror is more than just a functional item – it's a work of art that captures the essence of Florentine elegance and craftsmanship. For the discerning collector or interior designer seeking a truly unique piece with historical significance, this late 19th-century Florentine eclectic mirror offers an unparalleled opportunity to own a slice of Italian artistic heritage. Measures: H.136, W.230, D.15 cm Note: List Price includes customized wooden crate costs for safe delivery.
