About the Item
Extraordinary Pair of Italian Carved Giltwood Mirrors with Shell and Coral Motifs, 20th Century
Baroque Revival Meets Sculptural Coastal Design in the Manner of Tony Duquette
A striking and extraordinary pair of Italian carved giltwood mirrors, marrying the theatricality of Baroque Revival design with the elemental forms of the sea. These mirrors exhibit an exuberant visual language that recalls the maximalist sensibility of Tony Duquette, where nature, drama, and ornament converge in bold harmony.
The hand-carved giltwood frames are richly adorned with marine iconography—spiraled conch shells, branching coral, sea urchins, and flowing kelp—executed in high relief with exceptional sculptural depth. Each mirror is surmounted by a commanding conch crest, with the aquatic motifs cascading asymmetrically down the sides and base, imparting a rhythmic, organic dynamism.
Finished in a lustrous antique gold, the carving captures and reflects light in a manner that animates the surface with warmth and texture. The composition evokes the grandeur of coastal forms—not whimsical, but elemental—celebrating the natural world through a lens of opulence and theatricality. The mirrors are ideally suited for interiors that embrace bold classical references, seaside sophistication, or a curated sense of eclecticism.
Each mirror contains a beveled mirror plate (40" H x 24" W), framed within a monumental sculptural surround measuring 60 inches high by 34 inches wide.

Overall: 60" H x 34" W
Inset mirror: 40" H x 24" W
Condition:
