The central mirror plate is surrounded by an architectural composition of shaped glass elements, delicately decorated with engraved floral and foliate motifs. Applied glass details in subtle amber and golden tones provide warmth and contrast, enriching the luminous quality traditionally associated with Venetian decorative glass.
