The frame, carved from wood and gesso, reflects the refined proportions and artistry characteristic of early 20th-century Italian work.

The surface displays an aged finish, lending the frame a soft, even tone that enhances its sculptural details while preserving a sense of history and authenticity. The finish presents beautifully from the front, with light wax residue and natural variation visible on the reverse—subtle evidence of its age and layered surface.

The mirror retains its traditional divided plates, a hallmark of fine European craftsmanship. Each panel shows gentle silvering variation and the softly diffused reflection expected of antique-style glass. The foliate sides are fully carved and finished—an uncommon and desirable feature that speaks to quality production.

A refined and timeless example of Italian Rococo style, blending graceful form with a warm, time-softened presence.
