We present this pair of prestigious oval mirrors (of which a second pair is also available, link: https://www.antichitacastelbarco.it/it/prodotti/grandi-specchiere-in-legno-dorato–laccato-ed- carved—ii-ii-), of excellent executive level, which interprets the Italian Baroque period in an exemplary manner.
The works are in carved and gilded wood with a black lacquered background, richly decorated with a deep scroll carving with particularly vigorous leaf motifs, cymatium and lateral ends embellished with cherub heads.
This type of boldly carved volute acanthus mirrors have been produced in various centers in Italy including Lombardy, Veneto and especially Rome, starting from the 17th century.
Our works in particular, which show a design of clear and unmistakable baroque taste, can be attributed to Roman workers still operating in the 17th century, revealing the direct formal influence of the architects and sculptors of Bernini's school. The density of the decoration and the strong contrast of the ebonized wood which highlights the gold carvings are in fact typically Roman elements in their conception, and are characteristic of the evolution of the Baroque style of the City of the second half of the seventeenth century.
Even the sumptuousness of the decorations was well suited to the sumptuous interiors of a reception room in a Roman palace for which they were probably conceived, and which must have struck the visitor with their richness of detail and attention to detail.
Very good state of conservation. There are small defects and wear, appropriate for the time, which do not affect its beauty.

The works, like all our proposed objects, are accompanied by an expertise of photographic authenticity in accordance with the law.

We personally take care of the professional packaging and organize the transport of the purchased works, both for Italy and abroad, through tracked and insured carriers.
For any information, do not hesitate to contact us.
