An early Italian Florentine tole floral wall mirror, dating to approximately 1958–1965, featuring a striking sundial-style radial design with vines and flowers swirling outward from the center mirror.
The frame is decorated with layered hand-formed roses and finely pierced gilt “skeleton” leaves. The skeleton leaves are distinctive because their vein patterns are cut completely through the metal, creating an openwork effect that adds depth and delicacy.
Many of the leaves also have a slender olive-leaf shape, a motif inspired by the olive trees of the Tuscan region of Italy, often seen in Florentine decorative metalwork.
A round beveled mirror sits at the center, enhancing the dimensional botanical frame and reflecting light beautifully. Italian tole mirrors like this were widely imported to the U.S. during the height of the Hollywood Regency decorating movement.
With its large 36-inch scale, sculptural roses, pierced leaves, and dramatic radial pattern, this mirror makes a beautiful statement above a mantel, console, or entryway.
