Rare Antique Venetian Girandole Mirror With Putti & Laurel Leaf Frame

About the Item

A stunning Antique Venetian Girandole Mirror (PAIR AVAILABLE). The inset gilt metal panel features a central circular mirror framed by an elegant laurel leaf motif. The mirror itself holds a charmingly aged, foxed plate, flanked by scrolling foliage. The upper section showcases a central plume of feathers, supported by seated putti, while the lower section mirrors this design with a central urn, also supported by seated putti. Twin serpentine sconce arms terminate in acanthus leaf candle holders. The outer giltwood frame is adorned with beveled mirror slips. This rare and beautiful mirror will make a fabulous centrepiece in your home, and we have a pair available. Each mirror is unique, with different faces on the putti and removable handmade sconces. They may have been electrified at some point, as there is an old wire terminal on the back of one sconce, making it relatively easy to electrify if desired.

Louis XV Giltwood Mirrored Girandoles
Located in New Orleans, LA
This incredibly rare pair of Louis XV-period giltwood mirrored girandoles capture the grandeur, grace and opulence of the Rococo movement in the decorative arts. Each opulent mirror is exquisitely framed with voluminous flourishes of naturalistic motifs exemplary of the Louis XV era’s organic, deliberately asymmetrical stylings. Holding four candles each, these outstanding mirrored girandoles would have decoratively flanked a room of the period elegantly, illuminating the giltwood lustrously and providing ambient light reflected in the mirrored glass. Mirrors have long played an integral role in decorative design, often serving as focal points of a room.
