Description from the seller

This bronze-gold mirror is a piece that stands out for the richness of its ornamentation and for that theatrical air so typical of decorative objects inspired by classical design. The frame is fully worked in relief, with a profusion of curves, scrolls, and vegetal motifs that wrap the glass as if embracing it. On both sides graceful putti appear, winged child figures that bring a festive, almost Baroque touch, softening the solidity of the bronze with their playful presence.

The gilding shows very attractive aging, with areas of shine and others of patina that reveal the passage of time and enhance the depth of the relief. The top culminates in a symmetrical finial that acts as a visual crown, while the base incorporates an equally decorated support, with curved lines that balance the whole and allow the mirror to be displayed as an autonomous, almost sculptural object.

The glass shows signs of age, which reinforces its authentic character and adds personality to the piece. Overall, it is a mirror that not only serves a practical function but also becomes a focal point in any room, ideal for those seeking decoration with presence, history, and a handcrafted finish that is hard to find today.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
