The frame retains its original gilded finish, softened to a beautifully timeworn patina. Over the years, the frame has been carefully restored with professional repairs to the shape, gesso, and painted surface, ensuring stability while preserving its antique character. A later flat mirror plate has been fitted, providing a clear and functional reflection.

This mirror’s surface, with its warm gilding and subtle signs of age, tells the story of its long life and enhances its decorative appeal. Representative of the Italian Umbertine style, it makes a striking statement above a console, in a powder room, or layered into a gallery wall.
