About the Item

Noble 19th century gilt wall mirror from the renowed Biedermeier period in Austria. This beautiful antique wall mirror was elaborately handcarved around 1850 and impresses with its detailed framework showing artfully created floral designs with delicate tendrils and flowers. This amazing looking masterpiece of a Biedermeier mirror comes with a partly bronzed and partly gold leaf plated surface. You can see the overlapping of the different gold leaves as well as the red so-called "bolus" (= primer for gilding) partly shining through which confers this incredible Biedermeier mirror a really unqiue charme. The mirror glass has been renewed during the cleaning/restoration process. On the backside you have a small ring making wall mounting easy.

Late 18th Century Gilt Baroque Wall Mirror, Handcarved - Italy ca. 1790

Elegant 18th century gilt wall mirror from the late baroque period around 1790 in Italy. The artfully handcarved, partly open worked frame shows a lovely gold leaf plated surface and is adorned by elaborately carved floral motives, covered by an amazing looking patina. The highlight builds the large, slightly forward tilted top carving. Red shimmering spots that shine through the slightly abrased surface are caused by the so-called "bolus", the substrate/ ground for gilding and confer this late baroque wall mirror an extravagant and luxurious appearance at the same time. The backside is closed with an old card board and a metal ring makes wall mounting easy. An extraordinary shaped, elegant over 230 years old antique wall mirror...
