"Italian Baroque Mirror In Carved Wood - 18th Century"
A superb Italian Baroque mirror in carved and openwork wood, featuring an extremely elaborate and richly executed Rococo design. The frame is entirely handcrafted, with a remarkable interplay of scrolls, foliage, cartouches, and scalloped edges characteristic of the Northern Italian Baroque style.
The upper section is adorned with a high-relief sculpted figure within a Rococo background. The deep openwork testifies to virtuoso craftsmanship, typical of 18th-century Italian workshops.
The feet are integrated into the frame's decoration in a continuous upward movement, a style characteristic of the Veneto and Piedmont regions.
Original glass. Wear and losses, and pitting of the mirror's silvering, consistent with age.
