Unusual Italian Giltwood and Painted Mirror in the Baroque Taste, fourth quarter 19th century, the crest with two putti frolicking on a bed of flowers, above a pierced swag of flowers, the lower edge decorated with a hippocampus, h. 60", w. 39-1/2".

In overall good condition. There is a shrinkage crack to the upper right shoulder joint of the frame. Also a shrinkage crack at the mid-point at the left side of the frame. Minor rubs and surface imperfections from age. The extended arm of the lower cupid has a line near the shoulder where it has been professionally re-attached. Two fingers on the other cupid appear to be repaired. The gilding appears to be 80-90% original. The mirror plate with slight imperfections to the silvering.
