Description from the seller

This mirror is a refined example of Rococo taste, characterized by an imposing frame richly carved and gilded that enhances a dynamism typical of the eighteenth century. The structure is defined by a profusion of acanthus-leaf scrolls, asymmetrical curls, and shell motifs that run along the entire perimeter, culminating in a pierced crest with striking decorative impact. The gold finish bears a pleasing patina of time, giving depth and authenticity to the piece.

External dimensions of the frame: 94 x 65 cm

Shipped in a wooden crate or with professional packaging to preserve the object's integrity.

A collectible piece in good condition, signs of aging as shown in the photos, to be examined carefully as an integral part of the description. The gilding shows a natural and fascinating patina, with slight signs of time that attest to its authenticity. Small cracks and losses on the frame and other marks on the glass as in the photos, to be considered as part of the object's age.

Tracked shipping including secure packaging; any duties and customs taxes will be borne by the buyer.
