18th century Baroque mirror w/ cherub & scrolling acanthus leaves 20¾" x 17¾"

An extraordinary, petit Baroque gilded mirror dating from the eighteenth century, Italy. Taking a cue from the works of Italian sculptor Andrea Fantoni, the water gilded wood frame is richly decorated with ornate scrolling acanthus leaves, elevated by their considerable thickness. A cherub angel watches over the top of the mirror, and an abstract fleur-de-lis graces its base. This superb mirror makes the list of good things that come in small (thoughtfully wrapped) packages and will instantly add a touch of ornate elegance to your space.

The glass has been replaced with salvaged antique mirror and the frame re-gilded.

Note: Mirrors have been photographed facing fabric, a technique that reveals any age spots in the glass. In some cases, this may create the appearance of an empty frame, but each mirror is complete except where explicitly stated.
