Wall mirror - Wood, Glass

Large Italian gilded wooden dressing mirror, presumably datable to the second half or end of the 19th century, characterized by substantial dimensions and a particularly deep and robust structure.

The frame features rich decoration with large acanthus leaf motifs applied to the four corners and an elegant beaded inner profile that frames the mirror. The raised decorations appear plausibly made in stucco/plaster on a wooden structure, according to traditional decorative techniques.

The surface preserves a suggestive gilded finish with patina and traces of time. Since no specific gilding analysis has been performed, it is not declared as gold leaf.

Dimensions and weight
Overall dimensions: 116 × 94 cm
Maximum depth: 11 cm
Mirror size: 84 × 62 cm
Total weight: approximately 21 kg

The remarkable dimensions, a depth of about 11 cm, and a weight of about 21 kg confer the dressing mirror with a strong and scenographic presence.

Condition
The dressing mirror is preserved in the conditions visible in the photographs and shows signs of wear and use consistent with its age, including wear and abrasions of the gilded finish, cracks, small chips, and localized losses in the decorations and preparatory layers.

The mirror, presumably not recent, shows some small marks and imperfections compatible with its age.

The back retains the covering and suspension system visible in the photographs.

Provenance: furnishings from an important Bologna villa.

A decorative dressing mirror with notable presence, suitable for both classical interiors and as a contrasting element in contemporary contexts.
