This grand-scale Italian mirror from circa 1850 is a superb example of mid-19th century craftsmanship, featuring a richly detailed hand-carved and gessoed giltwood frame finished in 22k gold leaf. The body is adorned with an abundance of foliate scrolls and floral clusters, showcasing the ornate splendor of central Italian decorative arts.

Crowning the piece is a dramatic, pierced crest with a forward-thrusting leaf flourish, centered by the relief-carved face of a mythological god, adding a powerful classical presence. At nearly 7.5 feet tall, this mirror commands attention and brings architectural drama, historical richness, and timeless opulence to any refined interior.
