About the Item
An exquisite and rare Italian Louis XVI period Neoclassical gilded and elaborately carved wall mirror, circa 1780-90. The rectangular original mirror plate with carved and gilded surround; the crest decorated with a female bust with a crown of acanthus leaves; the trailing foliate carving extends outward and down the sides of the top. The carving of exceptional quality and craftsmanship. With original wood back support.
Mirrors of this period and style were intended for intimate rooms, designed to amplify candlelight. The classical acanthus leaf motif is famous as the defining characteristic of Neoclassical design. Its use became a visual shorthand for classical refinement and sophistication in the Neoclassical period, symbolizing vitality and growth; the lush, curling lines of the stylized leaf represent nature's abundance, vitality, and organic movement.

18th Century, Venetian Baroque Carved Giltwood mirror
This mirror was made in Venice, Italy, in the second half of the 18th century. The frame, in carved and gilded wood, has the characteristics of the Venetian baroque.
The internal wooden band, with 90-degree angles in the lower portion and with a cambered and curvilinear profile in the upper part, is carved in vegetable-shaped bas-reliefs. At the top a rich cymatium encloses another mirror. Rich perforated volutes, rocaille and phytomorphic elements, create movement to the whole and streamline the mirror making it graceful. To crown, there is a floral element. Also, below the frame includes a small mirror, while on the sides continue the friezes carved with flowers, leaves and scrolls rocaille.
This small mirror, very refined and of great decorative effect, can be easily placed in different environments, placed over consoles or antique drawers...
