18th Century Italian Faux Marble Painted Mirror - No2

18th century
Description

We have been fortunate to get hold of some truly stunning 18th and 19th century Italian frames that we have added high quality 6mm mirror plate too.

This example is one of the most unusual we have had for a little while. The frame dates to the late 18th early 19th century and is painted in a faux marble effect which is all original gesso on wood. It also has a gilt in set and exterior boarder which highlights the mirror perfectly. The frame is in fabulous condition.

105cm by 88cm

Can be hung either portrait or landscape.

This rectangular wall mirror dates from the late 18th to early 19th century in an Italian Neoclassical style. The wooden frame displays a dark grey faux marble painted finish on original gesso with a moulded border, a gilded sight edge, and a small metal suspension ring fixed to the top edge. Measuring 105 cm high, 88 cm wide, and 4 cm deep, the piece combines wood, glass, paint, and gold leaf in a dark grey and gold colour palette. Today, a home decorator hangs this piece above a sideboard or console table in a living room, hallway, or dining space to reflect light and add architectural interest to an interior. The sturdy construction and timeless palette allow it to blend seamlessly into both traditional and contemporary room settings.

FAQs

Eighteenth-century Italian mirrors often featured handcrafted wooden frames decorated with painted finishes, gilding, or trompe loeil techniques such as faux marble to imitate natural stone.

Frames were predominantly constructed from carved softwoods coated in gesso, finished with specialist paint effects or leaf gilding, and fitted with glass plates.

Authentic pieces display natural surface wear to the paint, hand-cut joinery on the backboard, and characteristic oxidisation or foxing within the mirror glass.

A painted faux marble mirror serves as an architectural accent piece when positioned above a console table, mantelpiece, or side table to add historic texture to contemporary spaces.

Clean the frame gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid chemicals or damp sponges that could lift fragile paint, gesso, or leaf gilding.
