BAROQUE MIRROR WITH CARVED, GILDED AND LACQUERED WOOD FRAME – 18TH CENTURY - 1700 Important antique mirror in the Baroque style, made of finely carved, sculpted and gilded wood, with refined vegetal motif decoration, volutes, acanthus leaves and opposing scrolls. The piece features an imposing upper pediment with a symmetrical development, characterized by stylized vegetal elements and a rich openwork finish. The composition develops laterally through elaborate foliate volutes, with a particularly dynamic and scenographic plastic flow. The inner frame is distinguished by a refined gold polychromy enriched with applications and ornamental motifs. At the base stands a singular sculpted mask, a decorative element of particular interest, inserted within the complex volute composition. The workmanship, observable especially in the carving details and in the less exposed parts, shows a pronounced artisanal quality, with numerous openwork openings, deep undercuts and a decoration designed to create a strong plastic and chiaroscuro effect. The back preserves constructional features and stratifications compatible with an antique piece, in addition to traces of interventions and consolidations carried out over time. The gilding shows physiological abrasions, losses and color variations that contribute to the legibility of the historical patina. Period: 18th century a. Scope: Italian manufacture, likely central-southern area. Technique: carved and sculpted wood. Conservation: good state of preservation considering its age, with wear, losses and interventions consistent with its conservation history. A piece intended for collectors For the richness of the carving, dimensions, compositional complexity and the presence of the mask, it is a particularly decorative item, suitable for historic interiors, representative residences, private collections and high-end furnishings. A piece of notable scenographic presence and of definite interest for the collector of antique Italian furnishings. Congratulations to the winner of this auctio
