"Carved, Lacquered And Painted Wooden Mirror. Venice, 18th Century."
Carved, lacquered and painted wooden mirror. Venice, 18th century.

70 x 50 cm.

Entirely in finely carved, lacquered and painted wood with elegant curls and bunch of grapes. Floral decoration with goldfinch.

Influenced by the original oriental techniques, Venetian lacquering developed in the workshops of local craftsmen with a unique and unmistakable style. Its ability to reflect light and enrich the rooms with bright colors and variegated decorations, often matching the rich fabrics that adorn the halls, soon made it a status symbol in the living rooms of the time. Owning lacquered furniture and mirrors was a distinctive sign of wealth and refinement, the decorations had to be of high quality and able to amaze the visitor.

Table mirrors were a very elegant accessory for the exclusive use of ladies who used them for their daily toilette. The Venetian masters created these miniature masterpieces that combined refined carvings, with leaf and festoon friezes, with the most precious lacquers in bright colours and decorations of all kinds (with floral motifs, “Chinoiseries” or landscapes), giving free rein to their imagination and reaching heights of extreme elegance.
