About the Item

Large, fantastic designed mid 19th century Italian wall mirror from the period around 1840 in Venice. This elaborately open worked mirror was part of the inventory of a very old urban villa in the center of the famous lagoon town. Showing a beautiful floral theme, this outstanding antique venetian mirror impresses with its many finely handcarved details. The extraordinary bronzed/ gilt surface shows a stunning old patina. Parts of the frame has been silverplated but most of these parts are almost abraded (you can still see rests of the overlapping silver leaves - picture #19) which doesn´t affect the mirror´s beauty in any way, much more it confers this mirror this absolutely unique and amazing charme. The old mirror plate is almost blind, shows aging spots and discolorations but we haven´t renewed the plate since (as we think) it fits so perfectly. But we would gladly renew the mirror upon you request for a small additional charge - just get in touch with us.

Late 18th Century Gilt Baroque Wall Mirror, Handcarved - Italy ca. 1790
Located in Lichtenberg, AT
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...
