Pair of extremely rare Murano mirrors with flowers, Murano circa 1730
About the Item
From the first phase of mirror production in Murano, very few examples of three-dimensionally decorated mirrors remain. In the late 17th century, Murano began to produce precisely cut flat glass mirrors, initially designed with flat glass elements mounted in a charcturist manner, engraved and sometimes acid-etched, edged with thin glass rods or beads, and later accented with corner rosettes, cartouches of leaves and flowers. In the 1730s, Murano also ventured into more complex structures. With the experience of glassmaking, where three-dimensional, often polychrome, elements were produced to meet the growing demand for decorative chandeliers, glass elements and glasses, mirrors also began to be complemented with this type of decoration. This is how the polychrome decorative mirrors were born, still in great demand today, and which have been produced in Murano for almost three hundred years. The pair presented here, which has also undergone a museum restoration, is one of the few testimonies of the first phase of this family of products. The mirrors are mounted on an original wooden body and are usually lined with silver leaf. We will be happy to answer your questions about the restoration. HD photos are available
