Large Italian Regency Style Giltwood Pier Mirror Art Nouveau

Large Italian Regency Style Giltwood Pier Mirror Art NouveauA stunning and substantial Italian giltwood pier mirror of good proportions in the Regency taste, circa mid 20th century. The mirror is surmounted by a breakfront cornice above a raised central foliate decoration, the whole above two columns framing the glass plate. The carving is exceptional throughout and the original gilding remains. Some areas of gilding are more worn than others, most notably to the lower left corner (please see photographs).

The work housed in a glazed wooden frame which has remnants of gilt to the exterior edges

There is a wood shrinkage split across the front left of the coffer

The cellars show some tarnish and light wear commensurate with age but remain in a remarkably good condition overall
