About the Item

Highly decorative, remarkable pair of amazingly crafted gilt Italian wall mirrors from the mid 19th century. Elaborately hand carved out of basswood around 1850, these outstanding antique gilt wall mirrors impress with an absolute enchanting, elongated design with great shaped acantus leaves and other ornamental elements. Defintely a highlight are the large fans on top reminding of a peacock´s dress. This exceptional pair of mid 19th century italian wall mirrors still keeps the original, almost blind mirror plates (you can still see yourself in it) with a lot of aging spots but exactly that is the absolute charming aspect which we love so much about these mirrors. A really unusual and rare pair of 19th century Italian wall mirrors, bringing this kind of luxurious touch to your home.

Late 18th Century Gilt Baroque Wall Mirror, Handcarved - Italy ca. 1790
Located in Lichtenberg, AT
Elegant 18th century gilt wall mirror from the late baroque period around 1790 in Italy. The artfully handcarved, partly open worked frame shows a lovely gold leaf plated surface and is adorned by elaborately carved floral motives, covered by an amazing looking patina. The highlight builds the large, slightly forward tilted top carving. Red shimmering spots that shine through the slightly abrased surface are caused by the so-called "bolus", the substrate/ ground for gilding and confer this late baroque wall mirror an extravagant and luxurious appearance at the same time. The backside is closed with an old card board and a metal ring makes wall mounting easy. An extraordinary shaped, elegant over 230 years old antique wall mirror...
