Large 19th Century Italian Ebonised Mirror - No5

19th century
Description

We have been fortunate to get hold of some truly stunning 19th century Italian frames that we have added high quality 6mm mirror plate too.

These mirrors make incredible features on any wall in a great number of interiors. The design is arguably quite contemporary which is why I love this particular style of frame.

The moulding is incredibly fine and when I spoke to my restorer about these he informed me just how hard it is to make this moulding so it really is a testament to the crafts people of the time that created these.

This example is a great focal point for any wall. The strong black of the ebonised finish contrasted with that of the deep red edge panels makes this example particularly nice. Great details and depth to the frame moulding as well.

122cm by 91cm

Can be hung either portrait or landscape.

FAQs

Nineteenth-century Italian ebonised mirrors are distinguished by dark-stained timber frames designed to mimic ebony wood, frequently paired with structured architectural mouldings, ripple work, and thin gilt slips.

These mirrors were constructed using carved hardwood or softwood frames treated with dark stains or black lacquers, fitted with glass plates and often accented with gold leaf inner borders.

Authentic pieces exhibit evidence of age such as natural oxidation or subtle foxing on the glass plate, historical joinery on the backboard, and wear on the ebonised finish revealing the underlying wood.

Mount the mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or entrance hallway console to introduce geometric structure, depth, and contrast against neutral wall tones.

Dust the ebonised frame regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth without commercial polishes, and clean the glass plate by applying cleaner to the cloth rather than directly to the glass surface.
