Detailed Description
Pair of Roman mirrors Louis XIV of remarkable and precious carving, with dimensions of 87 x 128 cm and 60 x 93 cm of mercury glass only.
The main decoration starts from a carving with a dense play of acanthus leaves that crumple, moving in an elegant and dynamic way, on themselves throughout the perimeter of the frame, ending in the center on an even larger acanthus leaf and laterally on two live flowers and elegant manufacture.
It is a prestigious pair of mirrors, I would say parade mirrors, of important dimensions, richly sculpted and gilded, which perfectly express the decorative and figurative repertoire typical of Louis XIV, with a particularly sumptuous and sinuous workmanship and design for the resolution of the carving itself, inserting itself in the late Baroque period as a rare specimen of the Roman manifacture of the mid-seventeenth century.
This valuable pair of mirrors, large and refined in proportions, architectural design and success can give further importance and elegance to a prestigious house, intended for those who want to own an object not only rare, but unique in its kind.
Golden with zecchino gold leaves does not require any patina intervention. In good structural condition it still maintains its cohesive mirror.
The paintings and works of art published here are my exclusive property and therefore are always available to be viewed, by appointment, in my exhibition sites located in Sanremo and Brescia.
This item , like all our objects, is sold accompanied by a photographic certificate FIMA of authenticity and lawful origin; this document identifies the object by adding more value to the article.
We take care and personally organize the packaging and shipping of our items with insurance all over the world.
