Description from the seller

In this piece from the first half of the twentieth century, worked in wood with gilded stucco reliefs, the Queen Anne air is perceived in the smoothness of the lines, in the way the volutes and floral motifs do not crowd each other, but flow with an almost architectural grace. It is not exuberant Baroque, but a balanced decorative style, where each curve seems designed to contribute lightness and verticality.

The gilding, applied over stucco, retains that warm and somewhat powdery shine that recalls the elegant interiors of the era: salons with diffused light, furniture with cabriole legs, soft upholstery and noble woods. The frame, with its well-defined relief but without harshness, fits perfectly into that aesthetic that seeks harmony between the ornamental and the functional.

The result is a mirror that combines the nobility of the Queen Anne style with the artisanal sensibility of the 20th century: a piece that offers distinction without rigidity, that dresses a wall with presence, yet also with delicacy.

Insured shipping and good packaging.
