Large Venetian Mirror Made Of Engraved And Hand-blown Murano Glass

An elegant Venetian mirror crafted between the late 19th century and the early 20th century, representing the refined Murano glasswork intended for prestigious furnishings. The piece is characterized by an ornate structure composed of hand-blown and hand-crafted glass elements. The frame consists of mirrored panels finely engraved with floral motifs, beveled edges, and numerous rosettes that harmoniously connect the various parts of the structure. The richly shaped cornice is embellished with elegant plant and floral motifs in hand-molded glass, in keeping with the finest Venetian tradition.Of particular interest is the documentation accompanying the mirror: an illustrated plate depicting the same model and an original card from the Opificio di Colleganza fra Artisti ed Operaj diversi, located in Piazza Goldoni, Calle dei Stagneri, Venice. These two precious period artifacts hold significant historical and documentary value. The mirrors retain their original silver plating and show widespread wear and oxidation, particularly evident on the central mirror and the side panels. These changes, which have developed naturally over time, attest to the work’s authenticity and enhance its charm. Condition: The mirror is in good condition, with natural signs of aging consistent with the period of its creation.Over time, some conservation work and minor restorations have been carried out on certain ornamental elements, as is typically found in artifacts of this type and age. There are also some slight chips and minor imperfections on certain glass elements, which are not particularly significant and are perfectly consistent with the piece’s age, without compromising its overall aesthetic balance.DimensionsHeight: 160 cmWidth: 108 cmDepth: 12 cmFor further information or additional photographs, please do not hesitate to contact us.Professional shipping worldwide.
