About the Item

Mid-18th Century Irish Rococo giltwood mirror. Of rectangular form, the carved giltwood frame richly ornamented with scrolling rocaille interwoven with naturalistically carved oak leaves and acorns, the whole centred by a bold shell crest flanked by foliate scrolls, with a corresponding shell and oak-leaf apron below. The sides carved with flowering foliage and trailing oak sprays, all retaining a warm, time-softened gilded surface. The prominent use of oak leaf and acorn motifs, combined with the disciplined symmetry and robust carving, is characteristic of mid-18th Century Irish Rococo work, reflecting the close relationship between Irish workshops — particularly in Dublin — and contemporary French Louis XV design.

18th Century, Venetian Baroque Carved Giltwood mirror This mirror was made in Venice, Italy, in the second half of the 18th century. The frame, in carved and gilded wood, has the characteristics of the Venetian baroque. The internal wooden band, with 90-degree angles in the lower portion and with a cambered and curvilinear profile in the upper part, is carved in vegetable-shaped bas-reliefs. At the top a rich cymatium encloses another mirror. Rich perforated volutes, rocaille and phytomorphic elements, create movement to the whole and streamline the mirror making it graceful. To crown, there is a floral element. Also, below the frame includes a small mirror, while on the sides continue the friezes carved with flowers, leaves and scrolls rocaille. This small mirror, very refined and of great decorative effect, can be easily placed in different environments, placed over consoles or antique drawers...
