An Italian giltwood mirror from the 19th century with carved foliage frieze and rais-de-cœur motifs. The mirror features a lavish gold leaf finish, mellowed with time, providing a rich backdrop for the intricately carved foliage frieze that adorns its border. Each leaf and tendril is rendered with precision, bringing a three-dimensional vitality to the frame's perimeter. Adding to its classic allure, the inner edge is graced with rais-de-cœur motifs—symbols of love and devotion—whose heart-shaped scrolls impart a romantic touch. As a stunning mirror, this giltwood piece can become a focal point in a living room, hallway, or bedroom, whether leaning on a mantelpiece or anchoring a gallery wall. It not only reflects light and space but also elevates the decor, making it a work of art in its own right.
