Description from the seller

20th-Century Shaped Mirror in the Louis XV Style with Mecca Silver Finish

Elegant Italian mirror from the 20th century, characterized by a refined shaped frame with soft curved lines and a graceful, flowing classical profile. The frame is crafted in carved wood and finished with the esteemed artisanal technique of mecca silvering (or gilding in mecca). This particular finish, obtained by applying an amber varnish over a sheet of silver, gives the mirror a cool, metallic golden tone, rich in charm and depth. The natural patina of time has slightly darkened the deeper parts of the carvings, highlighting the volumes of the structure. The frame is embellished with discreet shell motifs carved at the junctions of the curves. The mirror follows perfectly the shaped contour of the structure, creating a harmonious, light, and elegant whole. Thanks to its balanced proportions and timeless style, this shaped mirror is ideal for enriching entryways, bedrooms, living rooms, or spaces with both classical and contemporary design.
