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.

18th Century Spanish Altarpiece, Wallmounted Sculpture, Carved Gilwood
Located in Valladolid, ES
One of a kind Set of two pieces belonging to a monumental Baroque altarpiece made in the 18th century.
These are two magnificent carvings of large dimensions, which together make a semicircular piece with a profuse decoration also of monumental proportions of plant forms.
Decoration with elaborate carved rolls, which stand out from the general structure. It comes from a Spanish church that housed an imposing altarpiece made in the second half of the 18th century.
The entire visible surface is gilded with original gold leaf, with imperceptible subsequent touch-ups. The back is reinforced, which makes the pieces very strong and heavy.
In the photographs you can see the approach of its collectors: they placed it as a headboard, it looked impressive! But these exclusive pieces can be presented in many possible ways, either as part of the wall or as a work of art.
Due to its enormous size, the configuration chosen for transport is "the buyer picks up the piece" but if, once awarded, you want to contract transport, we will provide it (we have a team of experts).
Total measurements: 450 cm (width) x 160cm (height) x 25cm (depth)
Measurements of each piece (2): 225cm (width) x 160cm (height) x 25cm (depth)
It is a unique opportunity to acquire two exclusive pieces in the world of antiques.
