Spanish golden wood Mirror made with fragments of an altarpiece, Baroque

About the Item

Mirror made from fragments of a Baroque altarpiece, 18th century – Spain One of a kind and a Exceptional mirror made from fragments of a Baroque altarpiece. It is a quadrangular mirror to which two extraordinary fragments of symmetrical wood have been attached on each side, thus transforming them into a gilded frame. These are two pieces of great artistic quality, carved in wood. They feature acanthus leaves, scrolls and two venerated shapes that powerfully capture the attention, typical shapes of the 18th century that draw on the classical influence of Corinthian capitals. The artistic quality lies not only in the carving but also in the gilding, done with gold leaf, on bol and white lead, and burnished with agate stone. The Baroque altarpiece, with its colour and gilding - an operation in which high-carat gold leaf was used - was illuminated by the dim light of the candles, shining like an ember in the darkness of the temples, appearing to the public like a celestial apparition. The result is a very original mirror, never seen before. A decorative object in itself, full of artistic and historical value. It can be placed in the reverse direction and also horizontally. Due to its large dimensions, it is advisable to transport it in a custom-made wooden box, which is the responsibility of the buyer.
