About the Item

Outstanding carved and gilded wooden mirror, made during the first quarter of the 20th century in the Louis XVI style. The silvered mirror is framed in a rectangular main body. At the top there is a lush, slender and light crest, which has a large rocaille in its central area. This central rocaille is joined by delicate volutes with the plant elements that extend along the sides of the mirror. For some authors, Louis XVI is a style with a marked “feminine” tendency, and should even have been called “Marie Antoinette”. It contrasts with Louis XV due to its simplicity, and the rigor of geometric shapes and straight lines can be appreciated again, inspiration that it receives directly from classical architecture. It is characterized by lightness, harmony and proportion, leaving aside the heaviness and excess of the styles that it follows. It stands out as a more discreet and elegant style than its predecessor. With this exquisite mirror you will bring a refined and elegant style to any space and environment. These mirrors are highly sought after in the art market for their refinement and timeless aesthetics. Suitable for any environment, in a composition with more mirrors or as a single piece. It comes from a very important French privé collection established in Spain Material: carved and gilded wood Style: Louis XVI Period: first quarter of the 20th century Country of origin: France Good condition for its age and use Total dimensions: 86 x 78 x 10 cm.

18th Century Spanish Altarpiece, Wallmounted Sculpture, Carved Gilwood
Located in Valladolid, ES
One of a kind Set of two pieces belonging to a monumental Baroque altarpiece made in the 18th century. These are two magnificent carvings of large dimensions, which together make a semicircular piece with a profuse decoration also of monumental proportions of plant forms. Decoration with elaborate carved rolls, which stand out from the general structure. It comes from a Spanish church that housed an imposing altarpiece made in the second half of the 18th century. The entire visible surface is gilded with original gold leaf, with imperceptible subsequent touch-ups. The back is reinforced, which makes the pieces very strong and heavy. In the photographs you can see the approach of its collectors: they placed it as a headboard, it looked impressive! But these exclusive pieces can be presented in many possible ways, either as part of the wall or as a work of art. Due to its enormous size, the configuration chosen for transport is "the buyer picks up the piece" but if, once awarded, you want to contract transport, we will provide it (we have a team of experts). Total measurements: 450 cm (width) x 160cm (height) x 25cm (depth) Measurements of each piece (2): 225cm (width) x 160cm (height) x 25cm (depth) It is a unique opportunity to acquire two exclusive pieces in the world of antiques.
