Italian Rococo Supraporte Mirror, third quarter 18th century, possibly Venetian, the medallion-form mirror plate engraved with an intertwined "LD", and delicate scrollwork and flowers, the frame with beaded leaves and rocaille work, and flanked by piercings decorated with ribbons, strands of laurel leaves, berries and flowers, h. 16-3/4", w. 45".

In good "as found" condition. The surface is largely old, probably original, with some scattered inpainting. The piece exhibits normal shrinkage, wear, rubbing to the gilt, and scattered small chips and flakes to the edges of the carved surfaces, most notably to the tip of a leaf on the top of the right wing. The mirror plate exhibits some irregularity in its silvering and occlusions. Constructed of carved wood with gesso and gilt.
