Exceptional Pair, stately pier mirror exemplifies the refined elegance of Italian neoclassical design with its architectural proportions and restrained classical ornament. The rectangular frame features a projecting cornice decorated with a Greek key border above an elaborate frieze incorporating pierced foliate scrollwork flanking the central opening. The vertical side panels display elongated arabesque designs with bellflowers and diamond-shaped rosettes, creating an effect reminiscent of pilasters. Two classical urn finials in the neoclassical taste rest upon the base rail, their fluted bodies and circular medallions echoing ancient Roman prototypes. The tripartite mirror arrangement includes a central beveled plate flanked by narrow side panels, a configuration popular in Continental pier glass design. The frame retains what appears to be original water gilding with an attractively aged patina showing through to the red bole beneath, lending warmth and authenticity. The overall effect suggests Northern Italian craftsmanship, possibly Piedmontese, from the late 18th or early 19th century.Dimensions: approximately 48" H x 24" W.
