This Italian wall mirror from the 1960's follows a Venetian style with a tapering shape and measures 84 cm high by 52 cm wide. The construction comprises glass, mirrored glass, and gilt wood materials in silver and gold colours, displaying an Art Deco glamour design vibe. Four panels of reverse etched borders show an etched floral motif framing a central rectangular mirror plate. A gilt wood trim surrounds the inner edge, complementing the scalloped glass crest and the scalloped bottom mirrored extensions. The piece has bevelled frame edges, visible wear marks on the reflective surfaces, and minor surface oxidation along the glass borders. Suitable placement for this wall mirror includes hanging above a sideboard in a dining room, in an entrance hallway, or over a bedroom dressing table. The reflective surfaces and etched details bounce light around smaller spaces while providing a decorative focal point on a plain wall.

FAQs

Venetian style mirrors are defined by intricate glass-on-glass construction, featuring etched, engraved, or bevelled mirrored borders surrounding a central plate. Developed on the island of Murano in Venice during the Renaissance, these designs frequently incorporate floral scrolls, crestings, and gilded accents.

Traditional Venetian mirrors utilise silvered glass, hand-engraved border panels, and carved timber backings. Frames often incorporate gilt wood or gesso profiles to secure the glass sections in place.

Authentic vintage pieces feature hand-etched or wheel-cut foliate patterns rather than acid-etched reproductions. Look for slight grey or dark oxidisation spots on the silvering, wooden backing boards, and minor irregularities in hand-worked glass edges.

Position the mirror above a contemporary sideboard, console table, or fireplace mantelpiece to create a focal point that reflects natural light. The balance of clear glass and subtle gilding allows it to harmonise with both minimal and layered interior schemes.

Clean the glass using a lint-free microfibre cloth lightly moistened with water or a mild glass cleaner, applying liquid directly to the cloth rather than the glass. Avoid allowing moisture to seep into the gilded trim or backing, which can cause silvering degradation.
