Bring a touch of brilliance to your home with this stunning gilt wood sunburst mirror. Hand-carved in Spain circa 1780, and almost square in shape, the antique overlay mirror features a heavily textured, layered wooden frame. The frame has intricate carved details, including repeating geometric patterns, beaded edges, and scalloped designs. The central mirror is rectangular, surrounded by raised embellishments that create a shadowbox effect. The piece exhibits folk art characteristics, possibly hand-crafted, reflecting the tramp art tradition, which often utilized repurposed wood materials such as cigar boxes. The use of gilt paint gives it a rich, decorative appearance while highlighting the intricate craftsmanship. The wall piece is dressed with a center rectangular mirror surrounded with slant mirrored insets around the periphery, evoking classical motifs from 18th-century Mediterranean design. The wall decor is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorns a rich gold leaf patinated finish. With its striking radiating lines and rich golden hue, this mirror adds both elegance and warmth to any space. Perfect for a living room or hallway, this sophisticated wall mirror serves as a timeless accent piece that enhances the beauty of any interior. Smaller mirror fragments show wear, tarnishing, or missing pieces. 15″W x 16.5″H
