AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent Italian wall mirror from Florence in the style of the classic Florentine Baroque and Rococo. The piece was produced by the renowned manufacturer C.N. Firenze, as the original manufacturer's label on the back confirms.

The mirror comes from the Florentine craft tradition, which since the Renaissance has been known for its elaborately carved and gilded frames. This specimen was made using classical techniques:

hand-carved solid wood

Gesso (chalk ground)

red Bolus primer

Real gold leaf with patination.

The rich decor of sweeping acanthus leaves, floral ornaments, and finely executed openwork gives the mirror an exceptionally elegant and representative presence. The design is based on Italian originals from the 17th and 18th centuries (Baroque/Rococo), but was produced in Florence in the late 20th century as a high-quality style reproduction.

An impressive piece for both classic and modern interiors, ideal for the living room, hallway, fireplace room, or above a console.
