A gilded carved wooden mirror in antique Baroque/Rococo style, dating to 1940–1950, made of wood and glass.
Description from the seller
Gilded mirror in carved wood – Baroque / Rococo style – 20th century
Elegant, large decorative mirror, crafted in finely carved and gilded wood, inspired by Baroque and Rococo designs of European tradition.
The frame has a rectangular structure with an inner oval mirror, entirely carved in relief with a rich decoration of volutes, leaves, floral motifs, and shells, elements typical of the Rococo ornamental repertoire. The relief carving is deep and well defined, with a harmonious and symmetric composition.
The inner edge of the mirror is finished with a fluted molding, a decorative detail that adds elegance and visual depth.
The gilding, likely done in Mission style or with gold leaf, presents a warm gold tone with a uniform patina, giving it a decorative and refined appearance.
The mirror is modern or at least not old, in keeping with a 20th-century production, in good condition.
