Description from the seller
Antique Carved and Gilt Wooden Stand for a Mirror / Picture – Baroque Style (18th–19th Century)
Description:
An enchanting and refined antique stand for a mirror or painting, made of finely carved wood and finished with gold leaf. The piece is distinguished by its elegant, shaped sides with scrolls and volutes, embellished with carved acanthus leaf motifs on the front. The gilding has a beautiful period patina, with slight natural wear and areas where the bole ground shows through, enhancing its authenticity and historical charm. On the back, the natural wood supporting structure and the old joints with metal plates and period screws are visible. This is a striking decorative piece, ideal either as a tabletop or console frame, or as a base to incorporate into an antique restoration.
