A Rare mid-19th century giltwood and gesso mirror-back wall shelf, this circa 1860 Rococo masterpiece embodies the grandeur and romance of European decorative arts. Crowned with an elaborate armorial and foliate crest, the hand-carved frame is richly adorned with scrolling acanthus leaves, florals, and intricate detailing throughout.
The serpentine-form shelves are gracefully supported by pilasters, while delicate icicle carvings embellish the apron below. Its original soft water gilding has developed a beautiful aged patina, complementing the sparkling original mirror plate that provides a luminous backdrop for treasured objects.
