Large Genoese Lacquered Mirror Genoa, Mid-18th Century

Important Ligurian mirror of large size, made in Genoa around the mid-18th century. The finely carved and lacquered wooden frame features an elaborate Rococo design with scrolls, reverse curves and volutes that give the piece a sense of lightness and movement.
The surface retains its original lacquer, with a cream white background and light blue accents, enriched with polychrome floral decorations in relief – including charming sculpted roses – placed at key ornamental points.
The overall condition is good, with wear consistent with age and minor touch-ups to the lacquer. There are some reglued sections, inactive wormholes, and both the mirror plate and back panel have been replaced in more recent times.
Its generous dimensions (approx. 100 cm wide by 140 cm high) suggest it was originally intended for a noble interior, such as a reception room or boudoir, making it a rare example of mid-18th century Ligurian Rococo decoration, appreciated for its scale, elegance, and color scheme.
