About the Item

A lovely and very old antique mirror with applied gilding and polychrome throughout, in the Renaissance style, from the 18th and possibly the 17th century. Most probably Italian but could also be French. This exquisite piece is both a table mirror and a wall mirror. It has a velvet back and a gorgeous patina, with very soft gold gilding and faded black or indigo accents. It would look stunning on any table or hung above a bed or mantel. Beautifully worn with nicks and small cracks and losses which only add to its charm. Some evidence of old woodworm. The easel tab at the back has come loose at the top but is still attached and can easily be repaired with a bit of glue.
