About the Item

This is an elaborate 18th-century Italian carved wood mirror - grand scale and highly decorative with beautiful wood carved framing and the original plate glass. Highly ornate Rococo design - this is characterised by flowing, asymmetrical curves and exuberant decoration. Gold gilt finish on the carved wooden frame, gives it a rich, opulent appearance. The scrollwork, foliage, and shell motifs dominate the frame, typical of mid-18th-century Italian craftsmanship. The structure displays openwork carving, adding depth and allowing light to pass through the decorative elements. A central rectangular mirror panel is surrounded by a series of shaped mirrored sections, bordered by the intricate gilded frame. The combination of multiple mirror plates is consistent with antique mirrors from this era, when large single plates were harder to produce. This piece is grand, theatrical, and undeniably luxurious — an example of Rococo artistry at its most expressive, suitable as a focal point in a classical or palatial interior. Please take a look at all our pictures to see the detail and incredible craftsmanship. The mirror is in good condition and is structually sound. As one would expect, there is some wear to the frame and foxing on the mirror - this is consistent with it's age. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch. A gorgeous mirror of superb quality - a real show stopper!
