This antique gilded-wood mirror, in a Neo-Baroque style, dates from 1850–1900 and measures 139 × 88 cm overall.
Description from the seller
Imposing antique wall mirror dating roughly to the second half of the 19th century (Napoleon III period / Eclecticism) and the early 20th century, finely carved and gilded in a neo-Baroque taste. It is characterized by a wide shaped frame with incised details in geometric and vegetal motifs, crowned at the top by a rich pierced pediment with volutes and two dragons of great scenic effect. The central mirror preserves its fascinating original patina and the characteristic signs of time, giving the whole piece a strong character and elegance.
External frame size: 139 x 88 cm
Mirror: 74 x 58 cm
The item is presented in good vintage condition, preserving all the charm of its original patina; the frame shows some physiological cracks and minor losses in the decoration, signs of time that confirm its authenticity. The mirror also shows normal signs of antique glass, as in the photo.
