Product description
Italy / 17th century / mirror / wood / Renaissance / Baroque
An evocative 17th-century Italian mirror, richly carved in wood and transitioning stylistically between the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. This striking piece displays the dramatic sculptural vocabulary that defined Italian decorative arts of the era; voluminous scrolls, pierced foliate motifs, and a proudly cresting top element that lends the mirror a commanding architectural presence.
The frame’s deep relief carving creates dynamic shadows and a strong sense of movement, while the warm, time-worn surface reveals centuries of natural patina. A small circular opening above the main mirror plate adds an intriguing ornamental accent, characteristic of early Baroque exuberance layered onto Renaissance structure.
The mirror retains traces of old restorations, expected for a functional object of its age and evidence of its long life and careful preservation. These historical interventions blend harmoniously with the original carving and do not detract from its expressive beauty.
A dramatic and authentic 17th-century Italian statement piece—equally at home as a focal point in a classic interior or as a powerful contrast in modern spaces.
