Antique Venetian Etched Glass Mirror with Pate de Verre Micro Mosaic

About the Item

Rare Venetian etched Mirror with micro mosaic in pate de verre, details all over of blown glass and twisted baguettes It is set in a wooden frame. The micro mosaic of this piece is probably a Venetian work dated around 1870. The micro mosaic is an important technique between the eighteenth century and the early nineteenth century. Elements of glass, enamel or hard stone are assembled making the joints almost invisible. This delicate decoration was created by two craftsmen Cesare Aguatti and Giacomo Raffaelli who invented tesserae made of spun glass: smalti filati. The glass is brought to fusion and amalgamated with others of different colors. This allows the creation of "rods" or canes of glass that are then cut very finely in pieces of less than 2mm.
