This stunning antique Italian wall mirror captures the opulence and artistry of the Regency style, featuring a deeply carved giltwood frame adorned with scrollwork, acanthus leaves, and a central cherub crest. The craftsmanship is remarkable, with intricate detailing that brings depth and movement to the design. The aged gilt finish, accented with traces of soft blue and green, lends a sense of time-worn beauty and authenticity that only centuries can achieve.
The mirror’s form reflects the grandeur of early 19th-century Italian design, when classical motifs and Rococo flourishes were blended into a uniquely theatrical aesthetic. The cherub crest adds a romantic touch, symbolizing divine innocence and artistic grace, while the scrolling perimeter creates a strong architectural presence. Its generous size makes it ideal as a statement piece above a mantel, sideboard, or in an entryway, where it adds a note of elegance and history.
In nice antique condition consistent with age and use, the mirror retains its original glass showing expected age-related silvering and character. The frame shows areas of wear and minor losses (pictured), enhancing its antique charm rather than detracting from it. A beautiful and decorative mirror that speaks to Italy’s long tradition of fine carving and ornamental design. 39h x 24w x 2d
