The mirror displays the handcrafted charm typical of early Venetian work, including individually mounted glass pieces secured with decorative fasteners.
The frame includes four surrounding glass panels, one of which has a small chip with a 2-inch age crack behind it. The main mirror plate shows foxing, clouding, and age‑related patina, all consistent with its age and adding to its authenticity and character. The etched scrollwork remains crisp and visually striking.
The mirror hangs from an attached metal hook on the back and is structurally sound for display. A wonderful example of early Venetian craftsmanship with the kind of honest wear collectors expect from a true antique.
