Item description
Sicilian Baroque wall mirror in gilded wood, mid 18th century. The wood shows signs of use and time. It is entirely decorated with hand-carved angels and ears of wheat; a magnificent piece exemplifying the opulence and grandeur of the Baroque style in Sicily during that era. This mirror is not only useful but it is also a work of art, an example of the craftsmanship and artistic expression of Sicilian artisans. The frame is meticulously hand carved from solid wood, chosen for its strength and durability. The carving technique used is intricate and elaborate, characteristic of the Baroque period. The wood is meticulously shaped and adorned with intricately carved angels with great attention to detail. Another notable element of the frame is the presence of ears of wheat; in the Baroque era, ears of corn were commonly used as a symbol of abundance, prosperity and fertility. These subjects are finely sculpted and arranged within the frame, adding a sense of richness and generosity to the overall composition. The entire frame has then been expertly gilded with gold leaf, thus achieving a luxurious and radiant look. Gilding enhances the intricate carvings and adds a shimmering effect.
