A pair of Venetian Rococo wall mirrors dating from 1920 brings a sense of traditional French Chateau design to an interior. The pieces comprise ornate gold giltwood frames finished with rich carved scrollwork, bold acanthus leaf cresting, and muted gilding with a subtle luster. Set within the frames, the mirror glass plates display delicate etched figurative silhouettes depicting classic scenes, adding further decorative interest to the reflective surfaces. Each mirror measures 79 cm high, 46 cm wide, and 8 cm deep, providing substantial presence on a wall. In a modern home, this pair works well when hung above a sideboard in a dining room, placed over a mantelpiece in a formal sitting room, or positioned in an entrance hallway to create a sense of light and space.

FAQs

Venetian mirrors originate from the glassmaking traditions of Venice and Murano, characterised by ornate glasswork, delicate glass etching, and intricate carved frames often finished with leaf gilding.

Traditional construction involved hand-carved wood frames coated in gesso and gold leaf, paired with hand-blown plate glass decorated via diamond-point etching or wheel engraving.

Look for signs of age on the mirror plate, such as natural silvering oxidisation, minor irregularities in the hand-etched designs, and hand-carved joinery beneath the gilded gesso frame.

Positioning a matching pair symmetrically on either side of a focal artwork, window, or above a sideboard creates balanced proportions and enhances natural light within contemporary schemes.

Dust the giltwood frame gently with a dry, soft camel-hair brush, avoiding liquid cleaners which dissolve gold leaf, while wiping the glass carefully with a lightly dampened cloth.
