Antique mirror with marble frame and micro-mosaic
Description
This remarkable antique mirror features a heavy, solid frame made from a single piece of marble. The frame is inlaid with a stunning micro-mosaic.
The mosaic is composed of small, square pieces of gold leaf, which give the piece a warm, luxurious appeal. Colorful floral motifs made of glass mosaic are placed between the gold. These details in red, blue, pink, and green lend the mirror a lively and unique character.
The style is reminiscent of Italian or Southern European craftsmanship from the early 20th century (Art Deco or slightly earlier). The mirror glass itself has an authentic, weathered appearance with clear signs of age, such as spotting and oxidation of the silver on the back (foxed mirror glass). This gives the mirror a deep, historical charm.
