800
160xH235cm.
Neapolitan Louis Philippe mirror from the first half of the 800th century, entirely sculpted, carved and gilded with gold leaf.
The mirror looks like a triumph of carved wood with a movement that develops from bottom to top where it is possible to appreciate all its finesse.
The cymatium is a succession of rocaille scrolls.
Two feet having a roccailles motif contribute to the elegance and refinement of this splendid object.
The mirror is made of mercury salt glass and is contemporary with the wooden frame.
