BAROQUE CARVED WOODEN MIRROR WITH GILT AND LACQUERED FINISH – 18th CENTURY - 1700 Important antique mirror in Baroque taste, made of finely carved and sculpted wood, gilded, with refined decoration of vegetal motifs, volutes, acanthus leaves and opposing curls. The piece features an imposing upper crest with symmetrical development, characterized by stylized vegetal elements and rich openwork. The composition extends laterally through elaborate foliate volutes, with a particularly dynamic and scenographic plastic flow. The inner frame is characterized by a refined gold-brown polychromy enriched by gilded applications and ornamental motifs. At the base there is a singular carved mascaron, a decorative element of particular interest, inserted within the complex volute composition. The workmanship, observable especially in the detail of the carving and in the less exposed parts, reveals marked artisanal quality, with numerous openwork openings, deep undercuts and a decoration designed to create a strong plastic and chiaroscuro effect. The back preserves constructive features and stratifications compatible with a piece of antique execution, in addition to traces of interventions and consolidations carried out over time. The gilding shows physiological abrasions, losses and chromatic variations that contribute to the legibility of the historical patina. Era: 18th century Scope: Italian manufacture, probably central-southern area; attribution to be verified. Technique: carved and sculpted wood, gilding and polychromy. Conservation: good state of conservation considering its age, with wear, losses and interventions coherent with its conservation history. A piece destined for collecting For the richness of the carving, dimensions, compositional complexity and the presence of the mascaron, it is a particularly decorative object, suitable for historic interiors, representative residences, private collections and high-end furnishings. An object of notable visual presence and of definite interest for the collector of antique Italian furnishings. Congratulations to the winner of this auction It is in its original state and deliberately untreated.
