Pair of mirrors
Italy, Venice Louis XV
Carved and gilded wood Antique mercury-silvered glass mirror
Dimensions (maximum): Height 88 cm, Width 55 cm
Pair of Louis XV-style Venetian-made mirrors, in carved and gilded wood, adorned with carved ornamental motifs typical of 18th-century Rococo style, though still strongly influenced by Baroque elements, featuring plant tendrils and flowers that create a sinuous profile.
The upper section is crowned by a large openwork floral motif, typical of 18th-century decorative repertoire, and the internal frame in which the mirror is set—with its contoured sides—along with the complexity of the details, highlight the grace and elegance characteristic of Venetian craftsmanship of this period, demonstrating the master carver’s exceptional technical skill.
CONDITION:
