Mirror - Wood, Plaster, Stucco, gold leaf - Venetian Baroque

Magnificent Venetian wall mirror in historicist style – hand-carved wood, ca. 1880 An extraordinary and authentic testament to masterful Italian craftsmanship from the period around 1880. This antique Venetian mirror captivates with its opulent, hand-carved and polychrome-finished wooden frame, reflecting the typical, ornate embellishments of late historicism and Venetian tradition. Description & Aesthetics The frame is richly adorned with floral motifs, stylized acanthus leaves, and elegantly curved volutes. Particularly noteworthy is the characteristic color finish in harmonious blues, accents in red, as well as partial gilding or antique-gold effects, which give the mirror a wonderful patina and a warm, noble radiance. The upper and lower finishes are artistically pierced (C- and S-curves), which is typical for the classical-Venetian decorative style of this era. The mirror glass shows authentic, charming signs of age appropriate to its age, underscoring the genuine ancient character of this piece. Dimensions Total dimensions (including highly ornate frame): Height: approx. 95 cm Width: approx. 45 cm Mirror glass / Inner dimensions: Height: approx. 58 cm Width: approx. 24 cm Condition Good, age-appropriate condition with authentic patina. Minor age-related surface wear on the frame, craquelure and period-specific traces on the mirror glass (see detail photos), which in no way diminish the decorative overall effect, but emphasize the authenticity and history of the piece. On the back there is a stable hanging device. A true highlight for lovers of antique interiors, collectors of Venetian antiquities, or as a stylish focal point in a discerning living environment. Careful packaging with insured shipping is guaranteed.
