A Magnificent Pair of Rare 18th Century Venetian Mirrors with Mercury Glass

About the Item

An exceptionally fine and rare pair of Venetian giltwood mirrors or pier glasses. Mirrors of this type, especially those in an original pair are vanishingly rare. Their gilded giltwood frames take an organic form, the whole carved with rocaille, c-scrolls and floral embellishments, with a mirrored rocaille crest. This Rococo design encloses the more traditional frames that are the signature of the Venetian style, which in turn borders the most magnificently patinated original mercury plates. Italian, c.1760. Provenance: From a palazzo in Venice. Notes: It is likely that this pair of mirrors was made on the island of Murano, known as the 'Isle of Glass'. It has been the centre of fine glassmaking for centuries. View our collection of: Antique mirrors and console tables Listed Price: £26,000 (+VAT where applicable)
