About the Item

A superb pair of hand-carved giltwood Rococo mirrors, richly ornamented with exuberant scrollwork, foliate motifs, and musical trophy crests. Each mirror features a cartouche-shaped frame surmounted by instruments, quivers, and floral sprays, symbolizing harmony and the arts—an iconic Rococo theme. The carved wooden frames display remarkable craftsmanship, with deep relief carving and flowing asymmetry that embody the opulence of the Louis XV aesthetic. The gilding is executed in a brilliant burnished and matte water-gilt finish, enhancing the sculptural quality and depth of the carving. The original or period-appropriate beveled glass mirrors are set within molded borders that follow the sinuous lines of the design. This exceptional pair, designed for grand interiors, reflects the refined elegance of 18th-century Venetian and French salons, and would make a statement in any formal living room, entryway, or collector’s display.

Pair of Giltwood Mirrors with Porcelain, Rococo, 18th Century
By Matthias Lock
Located in Madrid, ES
Pair of "cornucopias" with mirrors, nearly identical (except for details in the leaves of the frames), carved and gilded wood. Inside, the main mirror has moldings that draw curves and straight areas, volutes and other elements. The elaborate decoration of the wall mirrors is based on grotesques in the lower part, from which plant elements emerge that are prolonged, accompanied by hangings, towards the upper part by the sides, with openwork details. Above, the crests have circular spaces, flanked by birds perched with its wings partly extended, and surrounded by elaborate frames that, like the rest of the pieces, have architectural elements (scrolls, smooth oval mirrors), plant elements and shapes that remind Rococo rockery. Clearly, the examples are included within the Rococo, counting, even with the slight asymmetry presented by the decorative motifs of the same and that slight difference between both examples. It is possible to find similarities in the design of these cornucopias with different engravings and works by Matthias Lock...
