Antique Italian Giltwood Sunburst Convex Mirror, 19th Century

A striking 19th-century Italian carved wood sunburst mirror featuring a beautifully aged gilded finish and convex glass center. The radiating rays are hand-carved with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing the craftsmanship and sculptural drama typical of the Italian Baroque revival period.

The mirror retains its original convex glass, which captures and distorts light in a dynamic, jewel-like manner—creating a sense of depth and movement. The gilt surface has developed a rich patina with gentle wear, enhancing its antique character and warmth.

Mounted on a sleek custom black metal stand, this versatile piece can be displayed tabletop as shown, or removed for wall hanging—equally elegant in either presentation.

Provenance:

From a private collection, Italy.

12” diameter

Condition:

Minor surface wear and small age-related losses to the gilding consistent with age; mirror glass with expected faint speckling. Overall excellent presentation with exceptional decorative presence.
