Overview

This is a classic Venetian-style 'mirror-on-mirror' design, featuring a central oval plate surrounded by a scalloped, etched glass border.

Story

In the 18th century, a mirror of this size and complexity would have cost as much as a small villa in the Italian countryside.

Maker / Origin

While the style originated in the 13th-century workshops of Murano, Italy, this specific example likely comes from the mid-century period when Italian artisans exported these designs to high-end…

Condition & Value

The glass appears remarkably clear with no significant 'foxing' or silvering loss visible in the photos. Value is driven by the vintage appeal and the fact that all decorative rosettes appear to be present.
