Large 19th-century "cartoccio" Mirror With Original Gilding In Perfect Condition
This 19th-century oval cartouche mirror is a refined example of cabinetmaking. In this case, the frame features deep, vigorous carvings depicting cartouche motifs (volutes, broad leaf-like curls, and sinuous elements).
At the top stands a rich, ornate finial featuring shell-shaped elements and opposing volutes, which are mirrored in the lower part of the piece.
The gold-leaf finish is in perfect condition, retaining its original luster and highlighting the interplay of light and shadow created by the carved reliefs.
