Antique Italian mirror in gilded wood

About the Item

This antique Via Crucis mirror from the 1700s, engraved with the words "Sentence of Death" at its base, holds centuries of history and faith. Its carved wooden frame, covered in gold leaf, is finely crafted, exuding a sense of solemnity and devotion, characteristic of Italian sacred art from the 18th century. Every detail of the frame, from the baroque curls to the floral decorations, showcases the skilled craftsmanship of Italian artisans, who during this period excelled in creating sacred objects of incomparable beauty. The mirror's glass, marked by the passage of time, reflects an ancient patina that seems to tell stories of prayers and processions, of intimate and solemn moments experienced in places of worship. The inscription "Sentence of Death" engraved at the bottom reminds us of the theme of the Via Crucis, a spiritual journey that guides the faithful through meditation on Christ's sacrifice. This mirror is not just a decorative object, but a true witness to past eras, capable of conveying emotions and telling the story of the devotion and artistic sensitivity of a bygone time. A unique piece that carries the allure of history and the deep traditions of Italian religious art.
