AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
BAROQUE GILT AND WOODEN INLAY MIRROR-CORNER WITH CARVING, GILDING AND LACQUER – 18th CENTURY - 1700
Important antique mirror in Baroque taste, made of finely carved, sculpted, and gilded wood, with refined vegetal motifs, volutes, acanthus leaves and opposing scrolls.
The piece features an imposing upper crest with symmetric development, characterized by stylized vegetal elements and rich openwork. The composition extends laterally through elaborate foliate volutes, with a plastically dynamic and scenographic flow.
The inner frame is distinguished by refined gold polychromy enhanced by applications and ornamental motifs.
At the base stands a singular carved grotesque mask, an especially interesting decorative element inserted within the complex volute composition.
The workmanship, observable especially in the details of the carving and in the less exposed parts, reveals marked artisanal quality, with numerous openwork openings, deep subframes, and a decoration designed to create a strong plastic and chiaroscuro effect.
The back preserves constructional characteristics and stratifications compatible with an artifact of ancient execution, besides traces of interventions and consolidations that occurred over time.
The gilding shows physiological abrasions, losses, and color variations that contribute to the legibility of the historic patina.
Era: 18th century
Scope: Italian manufacture, probable central-southern area.
Technique: carved and sculpted wood.
Conservation: good state of conservation considering its age, with wear, losses and interventions coherent with its conservation history.
A piece destined for collectors
For the richness of the carving, dimensions, compositional complexity and the presence of the grotesque mask, it is a particularly decorative object, suitable for historic interiors, representative residences, private collections and high-end furnishings.
An object of notable scenographic presence and of definite interest to collectors of antique Italian furniture.
Congratulations to the auction winner
