AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The oval-shaped frame is a triumph of typical Baroque motifs: large scrolls (roll-shaped elements), interwoven acanthus leaves, and volutes winding along the entire perimeter, creating a strong sense of movement.
​Openwork Carving Technique: A distinctive feature is that the carving is not applied to a solid panel, but is openwork.
​Period Gold-Leaf Gilding: The surface is covered with period gold-leaf gilding, visible beneath its antique patina. The gold has warm, bronze tones and shows signs of age, such as abrasion along the edges, confirming its authenticity and historical charm.
​Materials: Made of wood that was subsequently gessoed, gilded, and aged.
Dimensions: 38 x 34 cm

N.B.
The auction lot refers to the frame only. The mirror will be included as a complimentary gift. It will be securely packaged, but in the event of breakage during transport, the courier will not be held responsible and returns will not be accepted.
