Pair of Mid-18th Century Venetian Girandole Mirrors – Giltwood Crest Form with Original Mercury Glass & Candelabra
This exceptional pair of Venetian girandole mirrors from the mid-18th century is a rare example of grand-scale Baroque craftsmanship, entirely original and richly detailed. Each mirror features a dramatic crest-form silhouette, intricately hand-carved, gessoed, and finished in 22k gold gilding, with foliate reliefs, heraldic flags, and crowns of battle armor and regalia that speak to Venetian martial pride and artistry.
At the base of each frame, crystal candelabra arms add both sparkle and function, while the mirrors themselves retain their original mercury glass, exhibiting age-appropriate patina. A true statement for collectors or designers seeking museum-quality Italian giltwood mirrors, this pair offers historic grandeur, sculptural drama, and luminous elegance.
