Description
This fine pair of mirrors is crafted from ormolu, or gilt bronze, in the Renaissance manner. Each mirror features a highly elaborate pierced ormolu frame composed of scrolled acanthus leaves and other foliate forms. The frame of each is set with a cornucopia-like crown, while the frame is detailed throughout with lion’s heads, espagnolette-type busts, and classical masks. The bottom of each frame features an open-mouth grotesque mask, below which springs three scrolled light branches—each branch terminating in a single candleholder. The detailing throughout is wonderfully ornate, with a profusion of elements and classical references granting the pair a charming character.
