An Italian nineteenth-century carved wooden mirror frame with an original dark brown patina and pierced ornament, dating from 1850–1900.
Description from the seller
Imposing and scenographic antique full-19th-century mirror, a splendid example of high historical cabinetry.
The piece is entirely crafted with a monumental wooden frame finely hand-carved and shaped, enriched by a superb and deep original walnut patina that enhances the chiaroscuro and the refined engravings.
The structure is lively and sinuous, punctuated by a dense openwork decorative repertoire with volutes and scrolls that create a dynamic visual play of solids and voids.
Beautiful the upper pediment, dominated by a majestic central perforated medallion crest, finely carved with symmetrical plant motifs. The sides descend with elegant decorative cascades down to the base, where the frame rests on molded scroll feet, integrated into the lower line.
The back of the piece reveals its 19th-century authenticity, showing the contemporaneous supporting structure in wooden boards joined and finished by hand (with typical-era planing marks).
The object is in good conservation condition for its age. The structure is perfectly stable and solid. The wood retains its magnificent walnut-era finish with very slight and fascinating signs of time that certify its authenticity. Antique glass.
More than a piece of furniture, this Mirror is a refined window onto time.
The rich walnut patina and the vigor of 19th-century carving compose a visual poetry, finding a perfect balance between the strength of wood and the lightness of the openwork. An artifact with unmoved magnetism, destined to dominate the space and reflect the timeless elegance of the most exclusive residences.
Dimensions:
Height 117 cm.
Width 76 cm.
Depth 5 cm.
It will be carefully packed and insured during shipment.
