"Tuscan Neoclassical Mirror"
Elegant mirror in gilded wood.The particularity of the mirror is constituted by the finishes of Egyptian archaeological inspiration in a neoclassical stile.
The two sides are surmounted by two very elegant sphinxes in matte gold and shiny wings surmounted by a vase of flowers, their feet resting on scrolled mascarons.
The feet of the mirror are composed of two griffins of rare beauty.
The gilding of the mirror is original as well as its light blue gray lacquer typical of 18th century Tuscan cabinetmaking.
The original mercury mirror is split in half as usual for the period.
The mirror has had a conservative restoration and is in perfect condition.
It comes from a Lucca palace.
