Description
A rare Peruvian Baroque Colonial sunburst mirror, executed between 1890 and the 1920s, embodying the enduring dialogue between European Baroque ornamentation and Andean craftsmanship. While formally inspired by traditional Colonial sunburst mirrors, this example reveals a distinctly Peruvian hand in its richly modeled surfaces and intricate gold detailing-subtly echoing Andean textile and architectural motifs.
Handcrafted in hardwood with applied plaster and gold leaf sheets, the frame displays a deeply textured, rhythmic relief that catches light with remarkable depth and warmth. The original mirror plate remains intact, further enhancing the authenticity and period integrity of the piece.
Presented in original condition, the mirror shows minor dents and small areas of plaster loss consistent with age and use, as documented in the photographs. Overall, it remains structurally sound and visually compelling.
A highly decorative and sculptural wall piece, this mirror works effortlessly in layered traditional interiors, Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean settings, as well as contemporary spaces seeking historic contrast and artisanal character.
