About the Item
Elegant gilded fireplace mirror dating back to the late 19th century, a refined example of the decorative art of the period. The piece stands out for its richly crafted frame, gilded with gold leaf, featuring classic motifs and generous proportions, designed to enhance the wall above the fireplace, as was customary in bourgeois and noble residences of the late 19th century.
The mirror is original and still retains its antique mercury silvering, a technique that has now disappeared, which gives the reflective surface a unique depth and brightness that is impossible to replicate with modern treatments. Due to its age, the mirror has some oxidation spots, typical of this technique, which do not compromise its beauty but rather attest to its authenticity and the charm of the passing of time.
The gold leaf gilding on the frame shows some missing areas and wear, consistent with the age of the object, which overall maintain an aesthetic balance and contribute to its historical value. The patina is authentic and unrestored, a detail particularly appreciated by collectors looking for original and unaltered pieces.
