Italian wooden wall mirror from the 1970s with a richly molded, decorative frame and warm gold finish; overall external size 85 × 65 cm with a 70 × 50 cm internal mirror, 6 cm depth, originating from Italy and in good used condition with minor signs of age and some stains.
Description from the seller
An Italian wall mirror of great formal elegance, characterized by a shaped and undulating frame, richly molded, with an architectural profile that recalls classical taste reinterpreted in a decorative key. The wooden structure, enhanced by a warm and luminous gold finish, presents a harmonious and balanced design, with softly curved edges and raised projections that create a refined play of light and shadow on the surface.
The stylistic arrangement recalls the tradition of decorative wall mirrors with Italian taste, where function blends with a strong ornamental value. The frame, with its lively yet composed lines, dialogues perfectly with both classical and eclectic environments, making it ideal above a console table, a dresser, or as a focal element in a reception hall or formal living room. The gilding, with its full and enveloping tone, provides visual depth and an immediate sense of prestige, enriching the space with a striking but not excessive presence.
The central mirror, well proportioned relative to the frame, amplifies light and lends airiness to the spaces, while maintaining a strong aesthetic impact. The ensemble embodies that quality typical of Italian decorative furnishings, where balance, proportion, and a taste for detail merge into an object capable of enhancing both period settings and contemporary interiors seeking a sophisticated accent.
From a collecting standpoint, it is a piece of furniture that combines decorative value with versatile placement, qualities increasingly sought after in the antiques and classic-style modern design market. The craftsmanship of the frame and the rendering of the gilded finish testify to a production attentive to the overall aesthetic result and to the material feel.
Proper packaging and traceable shipping across Europe.
