18 November 2024
Description

This is a hand-carved Italian Rococo Revival mirror, crafted in the late 19th century (circa 1870-1890), likely by a skilled artisan from Florence or Milan, regions renowned for their decorative arts. The mirror features intricate carvings in walnut, a hallmark of fine Italian craftsmanship of the era. Its standout feature is the vibrant painted parrot motif, perched gracefully amidst floral and scrollwork details, showcasing the period’s fascination with nature and exoticism. The piece is in good vintage condition with visible signs of wear consistent with its age. The wood displays a warm patina, and the painted elements have aged naturally, adding character. Some minor repairs and small areas of wear are evident, particularly in the carvings, but they do not detract from its overall beauty or structural integrity. This mirror is a striking decorative piece, reflecting the opulence and artistry of late 19th-century Italy. Perfect for a grand entryway, salon, or bedroom, it serves as both a functional mirror and a conversation-starting work of art.
