AN EBONISED WALNUT AND PEAR WOOD MIRROR, ITALIAN 17TH CENTURY
This wave moulded frame design was made popular in Flanders in the middle of the 17th century and shows the influence of foreign tradesmen working in Rome and Florence, including Giacomo Herman and Giveanni Falker both German (c.1688) and Given Signets (Swiss c. 1675).
This mirror is made from a combination of ebonies walnut and pear wood and shows a nod to the quality of the German, Swiss & Flemish tradesmen working in Italy in this period. The inset mirror glass appears to be original.
