Elegant gilded wall mirror in Isabelline style, made between the late 19th and early 20th century in Spain.
The mirror features at the top a pediment with vegetal and floral motifs and a central medallion.

The mirror shows some slight breaks in the upper left corner, as well as some cracks that do not affect the overall view of the wooden pediment.
On the Isabelline style
The so-called Isabelline style developed in Spain during the reign of Queen Isabella II, roughly between the 1830s and 1860s, in a context marked by the consolidation of bourgeois society and the renewal of decorative tastes in domestic interiors. In the field of decorative arts and furniture, this style fully responds to the historicist and eclectic currents typical of 19th-century Europe, adopting and reinterpretating models from different artistic traditions of the past. The Isabelline proper was equivalent to the English Victorian style and the French Second Empire.
Formally, the Isabelline style is characterized by the combination of ornamental repertories inspired by Baroque and Rococo, together with elements inherited from the Renaissance and Neoclassicism. In furniture, the lines are curved, with dynamic structures and rich, meticulous decoration, abundant in volutes, vegetal motifs, cartouches and ornamental carvings. It is also common to use noble woods, gilding, marquetry and metallic applications, resources that reinforce the ornamental and representative dimension of the pieces.
It constitutes a characteristic manifestation of 19th-century eclecticism in Spain, recovering and reinterpretating historical styles to achieve a particularly decorative aesthetic, designed to flaunt the tastes of the upper classes.
