Large Florentine mirror from the early 18th century

Large Tuscan mirror (Florence) - early 18th century (can be hung on the wall in both directions) Louis XIV style Carved and gilded wood Maximum dimensions: 135 x 119 cm. (mirror 94 x 79 cm.) Good condition, small defects and missing parts, mirror with a slight scratch This is a prestigious parade mirror, of important dimensions, richly carved and gilded with leafy volutes, a remarkable example of the decorative repertoire typical of Louis XIV, with elements of particular sumptuousness for the resolution of the carving, fitting into the Baroque period of Tuscan cabinetmaking, from the late 17th or early 18th century. This work of art, very beautiful in its architectural design, can confer further importance and elegance to a prestigious environment, and is intended for those who wish to possess a precious and unique object. The density of the decoration is a characteristic element of the evolution of the Baroque style, as an emblem of pomp and power. From a structural point of view, the carving consists of spiral volutes, carved acanthus leaves, emphasized by the exceptional thickness of the frame and the concentration of the carving. Frames of similar workmanship, richly carved with leafy volute motifs, were widespread in the 17th century: see for comparison those of the Palatine Gallery in Florence, of which we indicate the links below: - https://catalogo.beniculturali.it/detail/HistoricOrArtisticProperty/0900295654 - https://catalogo.beniculturali.it/detail/HistoricOrArtisticProperty/0900295714 - https://catalogo.beniculturali.it/detail/HistoricOrArtisticProperty/0900295714 - https://catalogo.beniculturali.it/detail/HistoricOrArtisticProperty/0900295629 - https://catalogo.beniculturali.it/detail/HistoricOrArtisticProperty/0900295866 - https://catalogo.beniculturali.it/detail/HistoricOrArtisticProperty/0900641833 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: We take care of and organize the transport of the purchased works, both for Italy and abroad, through professional and insured carriers.
