An extraordinary 19th century Italian Rococo giltwood mirror richly carved with exuberant detail and figural ornamentation. The crest is surmounted by a reclining putto reading from an open book, framed by scrolling acanthus leaves and rocaille motifs. Along the side, a second putto is depicted blowing a horn, adding movement and charm to the composition.
The gilt frame is made in the Rococo manner, with asymmetrical flourishes, shellwork, and foliate scrolls surrounding the original shaped mirror plate. The surface displays a beautiful timeworn patina, with traces of original gilding, highlights of gesso, and areas of age-commensurate wear that enhance its authenticity.
