About the Item
A refined pair of wall mirrors in the Louis XVI style, crafted in Florence by a skilled artisan workshop and entirely made of hand-worked and chased cast brass. These mirrors embody the Florentine tradition of decorative metalwork, where classical French models were reinterpreted with a distinctive Italian sensibility and an exceptional level of craftsmanship.
The frames display an elegant, elongated silhouette with softly contoured profiles, enriched by finely modelled rocaille scrolls, floral garlands, and classical ornamental motifs. The decorative vocabulary recalls late 18th-century Louis XVI aesthetics, filtered through the artisanal practices of Tuscan workshops active between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The brass has been cast, chased, and hand-finished, resulting in a surface rich in texture and depth.
Both mirrors retain a beautiful, naturally aged patina, evident across the brass frames and the mirror plates themselves. The glass shows delicate signs of age, including light oxidation and soft clouding, which enhance their atmospheric presence and lend a sense of authenticity and historical charm. These traces of time have been intentionally preserved, as they contribute to the mirrors’ poetic character and visual warmth.
The sculptural quality of the frames is particularly striking when viewed from the side, revealing the thickness of the cast brass and the careful articulation of each decorative element. Floral details, scrolling volutes, and subtle neoclassical accents are balanced with a sense of restraint, avoiding excess while maintaining a strong decorative impact.
Condition: very good antique condition. Structurally sound and complete. The patina to both brass and glass is consistent with age and is considered a desirable feature. No major damages or restorations noted.
A highly decorative and elegant pair, ideal for refined interiors, classic or eclectic settings, or as statement pieces flanking a doorway, console, or fireplace. These mirrors exemplify the enduring appeal of Florentine craftsmanship and the timeless language of Louis XVI–inspired design.
