Description from the seller
Magnificent wall mirror in sun shape, crafted in carved wood with an aged gold finish. The decoration consists of multiple rays in the form of stylized leaves, carefully sculpted, surrounding a central circular mirror with an ornate relief oval frame.
The piece presents a design inspired by the iconic “Sunburst” mirrors, much appreciated in Mid-Century, Hollywood Regency, and Classical decor. The carving work reveals good craftsmanship, with a uniform patina and pleasant golden-brown tone that enhances the relief of the leaves.

* Material: carved wood
* Finish: aged gold
* Format: sun / sunburst
* Total diameter: approximately 67 cm
* Mirror diameter: approximately 24 cm
* Condition: very good, no significant flaws visible
* Ready to hang

1960s to 1980s
Seller's Story
I am passionate about art, antiques, and decorative objects with historical and aesthetic value. I carefully select unique pieces for auction, prioritizing those that stand out for their originality, quality, and history.
I have a special affinity for antique mirrors inspired by the work of Alphonse Mucha, acquired from private collections and antique shops in Portugal and France. I also place great importance on pieces made of carved wood, especially in gilded relief, which represent the refinement and craftsmanship of classical decorative arts.
