AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antique mirror in carved and gilded wood.
The piece is scenographic, beautiful in form and appearance, and its greatest merit is the elaborate decorations. The mirror is entirely rich in floral, foliate, and volute carvings.
At the top, a large, prestigious five-pointed shell motif stands out, giving a striking visual impact.
Next, the set of carvings meticulously executed envelops the mirror, with a wonderful cascading effect of flowers, leaves, and scrolls, creating an object rich in charm and refinement.

The original period backrests and the slightly faded gilding confirm the object's antiquity.
Every carving on this piece tells a story of craftsmanship, making this mirror a jewel of a bygone era that pairs perfectly with high-end interiors and fine furnishings.

It will be shipped carefully packed and insured.
