Antique Louis XVI mirror from the 18th century in gilded and carved wood

Elegant antique Neapolitan mirror from the second half of the 18th century, Louis XVI era, entirely sculpted, carved and gilded with gold leaf. Made in Naples towards the second half of the 18th century, with original mercury glass and richly carved and gilded wooden frame. The cymatium having the shape of an amphora with flowers is very slender upwards and lightens the richness of the decorations making the whole graceful and well balanced. Two lateral dragons further embellish the upper part, while in the lower part the mirror rests on feral feet also with rich carvings and floral decorations. The scrolls and movement of the elaborate architecture of this mirror make it a particularly valuable object, characterized by a beautiful carving of racemes and flowers.
