The beveled glass enhances reflections, while the richly carved frame adds an element of timeless elegance and artisanal craftsmanship.

The vibrant combination of polychrome detailing and gilding accentuates the intricate carving, making this piece both sophisticated and lively. Ready to hang, it adds a touch of Italian artistry and classical charm to any setting, whether a living room, hallway, or bedroom.
