Mirror. Carved and gilded wood. Spain, 19th century. Rectangular wall mirror with a frame made of carved and gilded wood, with some openwork areas. It has a crest at the top, with architectural and plant decoration (garlands of flowers, leaves, etc.) arranged around (and symmetrically) a curved shape reminiscent of 18th century Rococo rocailles. Also note the wavy edges of the frame in this area. In the rest, outside a usual composition of smooth mouldings, there are a series of plant and architectural motifs (scrolls, leaves, scrolls, etc.), with some details showing, again, a certain Rococo influence. The piece clearly shows the influence of 18th-century Rococo works, as already indicated, but with a more common arrangement in 19th-century works. In addition, a clear French influence can be mentioned (in this school we would speak of the Louis XV style). Compare, for example, with several mirrors in the Cerralbo Museum in Madrid in which the upper part of the mirrors shows soft curves (inv. 04166 –dated in the second half of the 19th century-, etc.).
