Mirror With Cabochon Frame. Silver, Enamel, Wood, Stucco, Etc. Mexican School, 17th Century.

Mirror with cabochon frame. Silver, enamel, wood, stucco, etc. Mexican school, 17th century.
No hallmarks. Presents defects.
Mirror with a slightly rectangular wooden frame with polychrome areas and silvering in relief on stucco and enhanced with enamel cabochons with geometric elements in dark and light blue. The front has a series of smooth moldings, one of which has the aforementioned polychromy. The silver band is distributed around the outer perimeter of the piece, with the corners in exposed wood and smooth silver bands (two on each side), as well as a decoration of a certain volume in which architectural elements of evident classicism are combined (in the center of which are the enamel cabochons), flanked, in the more elongated areas, by compositions with volutes, scrolls, plant motifs and fruits. From a stylistic point of view, the work can be compared to works of the same technique made in Mexico, mainly on small chests. In addition, as is often the case due to the peninsular influence, it is possible to evoke works such as the 17th-century Maundy Thursday chest in Barbastro.
