Item Description
The original mirror plate has wonderful clouding and attractive foxing with the rather unusual central orb of decay. The gilding is nicely worn and is showing the pink bole underneath in places. There are no losses and it remains completely original aside from the backing boards being lacking and replaced with hardboard.
This mirror would have been part of a smaller fireplace overmantel setting in an Italian villa.
The wonderfully random plate gives this quality mirror a real curios kick; almost as though the former owners face remains part of its fabric.
