About the Item
Splendid gilded wood mirror, Rome, Baroque period. Internal edge carved with myrtle garland, palmettes and rolled ribbon. Friezes and large twisted acanthus leaves, volutes and flowers at the high corners.
Period: Louis XIV (1680-1740)
Origin: Rome
Material: golden wood frame, mercury mirror
Baroque style
Pure gold leaf
In the seventeenth/eighteenth century the use of pure gold leaf was in use.
Not to be confused with imitation gold leaf whose use began in the 19th century and in which only the effect of gold is felt. In fact, the 19th century leaf is made up of a mixture of three different alloys: copper, brass, zinc.
Furthermore, it should not be confused with the so-called "Mecca" processing: silver covered with pigments from the Far East, invented in Naples in the 17th century.
Measurements and materials
Materials:
Frame: this is wood covered with pure gold leaf. Not to be confused with the "Mecca" one, invented by the Neapolitans around the 17th century and composed of silver "dyed" with pigments from China. And from the "imitation" one, invented starting from the 19th century and composed of an alloy of copper, brass and zinc.
Mirror: mercury glass (in use at the time)
Dimensions:
Light: 23 X 19 cm
Dimensions: 72 x 58 cm
