Wall mirror (2) - For support - carved in a volute and...

Pair of solid wood, free-standing mirrors. Scenographic and beautiful in form, the frames feature an undulating, multi-curved profile, and their focal point is a prominent, richly carved pediment with a floral motif and a shell-like stylization (palmette) with deep radial fluting that creates a strong play of light and shadow. At the base of the shell, two opposing acanthus-scroll volutes elegantly connect the pediment to the rest of the structure. The entire perimeter of the mirror is enclosed by a dense rope-work or "rope-braid" pattern, executed with regular, oblique, rounded carvings. This continuous ornament gives dynamism and volume to the frame, encasing the mirror. The finish is a dark patina that over time has developed charming warm tones. The perfect symmetry of the two elements offers extraordinary versatility in styling, making them ideal both for completing rooms in a historical style and as sophisticated contrasting elements in contemporary interior design projects.
