Neo-Greek mirror in silvered and gilded bronze

Silvered and gilded bronze.
Italy.
19 th.
h. 70cm ; L. 43 cm.

Mirror in silvered and gilded bronze, richly decorated with antique motifs : scrolls, palmettes, rosettes and acanthus leaves.

One of the most remarkable elements of this mirror lies in the quality of the carving and chiseling of the acanthus leaves : sculpted one by one, slightly asymmetrical and matte, they are the mark of high quality work.
