Description

Giltwood mirror, measuring 82 cm wide, 147 cm high, and 10 cm deep, exhibiting a particularly interesting style that lies at the crossroads of Louis XVI classicism and the beginnings of Art Nouveau. This piece is distinguished by its finely carved octagonal frame, adorned with raised floral motifs and plant friezes typical of the Louis XVI style, while also revealing the freer, more natural curves that heralded Art Nouveau.
The upper pediment is richly decorated with an imposing bouquet of acanthus leaves, flowers, and intertwined ribbons, creating an effect of movement and lightness characteristic of the transition between these two stylistic periods. The frame features beautiful gilt leaf, with finely chiseled details, highlighting the exceptional craftsmanship of this piece. The period mirror is beveled, adding to the elegance and refinement of the piece, subtly capturing the light and creating deep, vibrant reflections. The wooden backing is a testament to its authenticity and traditional craftsmanship.
This mirror is an ideal decorative piece to add a touch of sophistication and history to a classic or eclectic interior, while celebrating the evolution of decorative styles in the late 19th century.
