Its generous rectangular form is defined by three parallel rows of twisted glass canes surrounding finely engraved mirror panels decorated with scrolling floral motifs. At each junction, hand-blown glass flowers with individually formed petals and leaves conceal the joins while lending a graceful rhythm to the composition. Their delicate champagne tint, more or less apparent depending on the light, introduces gentle warmth to the predominantly ivory palette. Small glass rosettes accent each corner of the central mirror plate, itself framed by engraved panels depicting floral urns, scrolling foliage, and graceful eighteenth-century-inspired figures. The mirror remains in good vintage condition, with light age-related wear consistent with its age. Several of the applied glass ornaments have been discreetly resecured in recent years, ensuring the mirror remains stable while preserving its original appearance.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\nVenetian mirrors have been admired since the seventeenth century for their exceptional craftsmanship. Combining a simple geometric form with refined ornament, this example retains a restrained elegance that feels as comfortable in layered interiors as it does as a luminous focal point in a more pared-back setting. Both functional and decorative, it is ideally suited above a console in an entryway, over a mantel in a living or dining room, or as an elegant everyday mirror in a bedroom or bathroom. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 40½\" high x 32¼\" wide x 3¼\" thick  \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 103cm high x 82cm wide x 8cm thick \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54194812191058,"sku":"25091","price":4695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC03395_1a17c15c-ce31-4398-a5d3-f8457fc9b868.jpg?v=1786004322","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/ornate-venetian-mirror-w-engraved-glass-and-applied-glass-decoration-1950s-401-2-x-321-4","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
