An exceptionally beautiful and very large antique Italian 18th century gilt wood mirror, dating from around the 1780-1800 period.

It is a very impressive size, and of incredibly high quality, the frame is carved from solid wood and has incredibly beautiful details depicting grapes and vine leaves. This would have been designed as an overmantel mirror for a room with very high ceilings, but it is equally useful as a floor standing mirror.

We have had the gilt wood frame revived and restored by a master gilder, the solid plinth base has been replaced, it was copied exactly as the original was, it’s made from stained solid oak. There is some incredibly minor wear and spotting to the silvered backing of the mirror. Overall this is in superb condition for its age.
