S and S Timms Antiques Ltd has dated this Italian Giltwood Florentine Mirror to the 19th Century.
This is a very attractive mid 19th century Florentine giltwood wall mirror and a reasonable amount smaller than the standard size we tend to see for this type of mirror, meaning it is very much suitable for a wide variety of settings around the home.
More often than not however mirrors of this design have been left battered and bruised with many, many repairs and missing pieces so in our opinion its great to find one that has clearly been as well loved as this.
The mirror plate itself is not brand new, but also definitely not original, with just a few very minor spotted silvered areas. It is also probably that the carved frame itself started life designed to hold a painting, only to be relatively quickly converted into the attractive wall mirror which we find today, as that is extremely common for mirrors of this design.
It’s also worth noting that the mirror is designed in such a way that it will happily hang portrait or landscape, which of course significantly enhances the available functionality of this piece.
