Antique Italian Giltwood Wall Mirror

$2,200.00

An Italian wall mirror from 17th-century Tuscany, conceived at the intersection of craft and ornament, where woodcarving and gilding become a single architectural gesture.

The frame is square and deeply structured, built in carved wood and finished with aged gilt that has softened over time into a layered patina of gold, ochre, and exposed ground. Its surface carries the marks of handwork—subtle irregularities in the carving, softened edges, and areas where the gilding has thinned to reveal the darker wood beneath.

The composition of the frame is rhythmic and deliberate. Repeating block-like reliefs run along each edge, forming a continuous register of light-catching surfaces, while corner motifs introduce floral forms that punctuate the geometry with ornament.

DIMENSIONS: 20.75"W x 1.75"D x 21.5"H

ORIGIN: Italy

PERIOD: 17th Century

MATERIALS: Wood, Mirror, Gilt

CONDITION: In great vintage condition overall, with minor surface wear throughout the mirror’s frame, as well as subtle finish loss. Hanging hardware present to the reverse.
