About the Item

This Antique Late 18th Century Italian Baroque Gilt Gesso Wall Mirror is a magnificent representation of the ornate Baroque style, with its gilded gesso frame and stunning mirrored openwork. The frame, rich with sweeping curves and intricate detailing, is crowned with a bold and dramatic crest, showcasing the period’s signature flair for grandeur and decorative excess. The openwork around the mirror features mirrored panels that amplify the light, creating a dazzling interplay between reflection and design, while the frame itself is adorned with lush floral and acanthus leaf motifs. The mirror is in good condition for its age, with some loss of gilding and a few older repairs that speak to its long history. The central glass plate has been replaced at some point, while the surrounding mirrors in the openwork appear to be original, maintaining the authentic character of the piece. These older repairs and minor losses to the gilding do not detract from the mirror’s overall charm, but rather add to its narrative and uniqueness, emphasizing the care and attention it has received over time. Despite these signs of age, the mirror continues to captivate with its remarkable detailing and the elegance it imparts to any space. The combination of its gilded frame, mirrored openwork, and the historical patina of the glass makes this Italian Baroque mirror a striking piece, perfect for those seeking a statement piece with both beauty and history. 48h x 26w x 3d
