These antique framed mirrors cartouche are a truly extraordinary find, dating back to the post-1890 era and most likely from the 1st quarter of the 20th century, a time when Neo-Classical design was transitioning to the Edwardian era. These mirrors exude a classic Hollywood Regency vibe, sure to elevate any space they occupy.
One of the most intriguing aspects of these mirrors is the depiction of two historical figures in their frames. The figure pointing to the right is believed to be Hannibal, the Carthaginian general who waged war against Rome in 218 BC, while the other figure is possibly his Roman counterpart and foe. These mirrors are truly one-of-a-kind and their scarcity only adds to their value.
The overall patina of the mirrors is beautiful and adds to their antique charm. The mirroring and frames do show some wear from use and age, which the current owner personally appreciates. The timeless patina of these mirrors is a testament to their enduring beauty.
One can't help but wonder if decorative objects like these served as inspiration for the design titans of the 20th century, such as Piero Fornasetti. These mirrors are not just beautiful, they are also a fascinating piece of history and design.
