Description from the seller
Wall mirror with carved crest and water-gilded finish – Baroque-inspired, 20th century
Important wall mirror of historical character, made in carved and stuccoed wood, with water gilding, following decorative models of Baroque tradition. The piece presents an elegant vertical format, topped by a richly carved pediment with scrolls and symmetrical vegetal motifs, a distinctive element of representation mirrors inspired by late Baroque.
The frame is heavily worked, with deep moldings and protruding elements all around the perimeter, designed to enhance the play of light on the gilding. The quality of the carving and the overall harmony recall historicist productions of the 19th century, executed according to classical canons and intended for prestigious interiors.
It retains its antique glass, with patina, slight distortions, and small imperfections typical of the passage of time, features common and appreciated in original period pieces. The gilding shows natural wear and small localized losses, consistent with its age and reinforcing its authenticity.

Style: historicist Baroque
Material: carved and stuccoed wood, water gilding
Condition: good, with original patina and signs of age appropriate to the era
