The frame is topped with a ribbon-like crest and decorated with scrolling acanthus leaves, rosettes, shell forms, and other traditional Rococo-style motifs. The underlying structure is likely pine wood, typical of the period, finished with a gesso layer—a plaster-like material used to create a smooth surface for gold leaf application.

The mirror was made in Florence, Italy, a region known for its high-quality decorative arts. It retains its original hanging hardware and is suitable for wall display in a variety of interior settings. The design and craftsmanship reflect the Florentine approach to ornamentation, making it an elegant decorative accent for traditional, classical, or antique-inspired spaces. See less
