Description from the seller
No reserve price!
Antique wall mirror in Baroque / Louis XV style with an ornate frame and decorative shell.
Magnificent antique wall mirror, richly adorned in Baroque/Rocaille (Louis XV) style. The frame features superb carving with organic motifs, scrolls, and a imposing upper crown in shell shape (rocaille). The finish has an antique patina in golden and brown tones, ideal for classical interiors or to create an elegant contrast in modern décors.
The structure and frame are sturdy and visually very well preserved, with wear and natural patina expected for its age. The mirror glass is original to the piece and shows authentic mercurial oxidation (dark spots visible in the photographs), which gives it a unique vintage charm and attests to its age and authenticity.
The backs should have been refurbished in the 1980s.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my enormous passion; all the items I have up for auction were found at antique fairs and from antique dealers mainly in the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original and obviously beautiful. Quality guarantee and very careful shipping of the pieces.
ATTENTION: If you are interested in one of my pieces that has a reserve price, please note that I will absolutely not offer it for less than 80% of the reserve value of the piece. And I should also note that if that piece is not sold here on Catawiki, I will sell it at another auction house, so if you’re really interested in any of my pieces, buy it when you see it the first time.
Thank you very much
