Rare and elegant 17th-century mirror, made of ebonized wood with an important «cassetta» frame, characterized by refined carving with wavy and geometric motifs, typical of Italian production in the 17th century.
The structure, with severe and architectural lines, is adorned with a double stepped molding that leads to the central mirror, lending depth and great compositional balance.
The ebonizing, now enriched by a natural patina of time, enhances the austere and prestigious character of the work.
The mirror retains an antique mercury glass, characterized by widespread oxidation and typical surface alterations that attest to its age and authenticity, lending a unique and unrepeatable charm.
An object of great historical and decorative value, ideal for inclusion in settings furnished with antique furniture, curated collections, or historic residences.
Condition: good overall considering its age.
The frame shows normal signs of time, light wear, and small imperfections consistent with over three centuries of history. The mercury glass exhibits the characteristic oxidations and opacities typical of antique mirrors.
