Antique Venetian-Style Mirror – Carved and Gilded Wood with Polychrome Decorations

Refined wall mirror with a hand-carved wooden frame, richly decorated with floral motifs and intertwined foliage. The gilded finish, enriched by delicate pastel polychromy in tones of pink, green, and ivory, gives the composition an elegance typically Venetian, softer and more pictorial than the austerity of Louis XVI taste.

The upper pediment, adorned with a bouquet of sculpted flowers, and the side volutes that run along the profile, emphasize the lightness and grace of the design. The antique glass shows an authentic patina that underscores its vintage charm.

A work of high artisanal decoration, ideal for classic interiors, boudoirs, or representative entrances, where one wishes to enhance the refinement and brightness of Venetian gilding.

Specchiera Antica in Stile Veneziano – Legno Intagliato e Dorato con Decorazioni Policrome  

Raffinato specchio da parete con cornice in legno intagliato a mano, riccamente decorata con motivi floreali e fogliami intrecciati. La finitura dorata, arricchita da delicate policromie pastello nei toni del rosa, verde e avorio, conferisce alla composizione un’eleganza tipicamente veneziana, più morbida e pittorica rispetto al rigore del gusto Luigi XVI.  

La cimasa superiore, ornata da un mazzo di fiori scolpiti, e le volute laterali che si rincorrono lungo il profilo, esaltano la leggerezza e la grazia del disegno. Il vetro antico mostra una patina autentica che ne sottolinea il fascino d’epoca.  

Opera di alta decorazione artigianale, ideale per ambienti classici, boudoir o ingressi di rappresentanza, dove si voglia valorizzare la raffinatezza e la luminosità del dorato veneziano.
