AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Two refined mirrors in wood and composite, carved, chased, and gilded with gold leaf.
Scenographic, beautiful in form and appearance, their greatest merit is the elaborate decorations.
The mirrors are entirely rich in volute rocaille carvings and vegetal motifs.
A refined central stylized acanthus leaf rises upward, standing out and creating a striking visual impact.
Next, the array of carved and chiselled motifs, meticulously executed, envelops the mirror with a wonderful cascading effect, creating two pieces rich in charm and refinement.

The mirrors are identical in size; being handmade, they differ in small details. The original backrests from the period, with the back cover recently replaced.

Two pieces that tell a story of craftsmanship from a bygone era, jewels to pair perfectly with upscale settings and high-end furnishings.

They will be shipped carefully, properly packed, and insured.
