Description from the seller

Exceptional Circular Form Mirror, made of wood, composite material and finished with gilding.
Scenographic, beautiful in appearance and shape, it is characterized by rich decoration with floral motifs and raised volutes along the entire frame. The elaborate design, inspired by 18th-century models, gives the object an evocative and timeless elegance.
Beautiful is the concave shape of the front faced outward, the large decorated domed form presents a pleasant refinement and lends depth.
The inner profile is embellished with a fluted cornice with a beaded motif alternating with segments that frame the central mirror.
The frame creates a refined play of contrasts between deep black and the warm brightness of gold, standing out with particular effectiveness. This pairing, typical of elegant and theatrical settings, enhances the decorative details and gives the mirror a striking stage presence, contributing to make the object a focal point in the room, capable of drawing the eye and enriching both classical interiors and sophisticated contemporary spaces.

Dimensions:
Height 69 cm
Width 69 cm
Depth 4.5 cm
Front thickness 10 cm
Internal light:
Height 49 cm
Width 49 cm
