Rare Antique Venetian Girandole Mirror with Putti & Laurel Leaf Frame

19th century
For Sale by Tinker & Toad
Description

A stunning Antique Venetian Girandole Mirror (PAIR AVAILABLE). The inset gilt metal panel features a central circular mirror framed by an elegant laurel leaf motif. The mirror itself holds a charmingly aged, foxed plate, flanked by scrolling foliage. The upper section showcases a central plume of feathers, supported by seated putti, while the lower section mirrors this design with a central urn, also supported by seated putti. Twin serpentine sconce arms terminate in acanthus leaf candle holders. The outer giltwood frame is adorned with beveled mirror slips. This rare and beautiful mirror will make a fabulous centrepiece in your home, and we have a pair available. Each mirror is unique, with different faces on the putti and removable handmade sconces. They may have been electrified at some point, as there is an old wire terminal on the back of one sconce, making it relatively easy to electrify if desired.

FAQs

A Venetian girandole mirror is an ornamental wall-mounted mirror featuring attached sconce arms for holding candles, designed in Venice to amplify light and decorate grand interiors.

Traditional girandole mirrors are constructed using carved wood coated in gesso and gold leaf gilding, combined with mirrored glass plates and wrought iron or brass candle arms.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved joinery, natural foxing or oxidisation on the mercury silvered glass, hand-wrought metalwork, and uneven layer wear on the gilded surfaces.

Position the mirror above a console table or fireplace mantel to create a structural focal point that bounces natural and candlelight across the room.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a soft dry brush, avoiding water or chemical cleansers, and clean the glass separately using a damp cloth applied carefully away from the gilt edges.
