Late 18th Century Gilt Baroque Wall Mirror, Handcarved - Italy ca. 1790

About the Item

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 from the late baroque era in Italy. The old mirror plate shows aging spots and a slight adiscoloration (please see detailed pictures) which confers it a unique charme but doesn´t affect its functionality in any way.
