An elegant Italian carved giltwood mirror dating from the second half of the 18th century. The frame is finely sculpted with classical motifs, featuring a richly detailed crest composed of scrolling foliage and a central urn, balanced by delicate carved elements along the sides and base. The original gilded surface displays a warm, time-softened patina that enhances the depth of the carving and reflects the craftsmanship of the period.
The mirror retains its original glass, adding authenticity and character, with light signs of age consistent with its history. Its refined proportions and architectural presence make it equally suitable for a formal interior, above a commode or console, or as a statement piece in a more relaxed setting. A strong decorative example of late 18th-century Italian craftsmanship, offering both elegance and historical presence.
