We present this very refined fireplace mirror in poplar wood, gilded in pure gold and beautifully tripartite with several mercury mirrors.

Bucolic carvings, protruding from the outside, branch off from the base of the fireplace, with climbing shrubs with small flowers and leaves, upwards, giving it movement and lightness; at the base there are rocaille carvings and the same flowers.

The other innermost bands are also bordered by climbing shoots with bluebells and leaves.

The focus on which the eye falls is a delightful portrait drawn in pastel, depicting a noblewoman with clothes and a delicate appearance, like the color palette used for the small bunch of flowers on her hair.

Surely, the author is an artist from the circle of Rosalba Carriera, as can be seen from several details, one of which, the pearl necklace, is worn in an asymmetrical way and in any case, by the skill with which he made the jewels and the face introspectively, creating a diaphanous and impalpable but haughty portrait.

You exquisite the execution of the frame and the overall decorative project that centrally frames the portrait; it is made up of spiral and projecting mixtilinear leafy carvings, which continue with leaves, branches and flowers together with Rococo elements that lean on the mirror, creating with stylistic skill, a work of art rich in prestige and strength, but at the same time , of balanced elegance and levity.

In the upper part, on the sides of the cymatium, almost pagoda-like, there are tufts of small flowers and two curls; instead, in the two parts that fall on the mirrors, exquisite gilded and carved elements composed of scalloped festoons in a mixtilinear shape and moved in trompe l'oeil, are for our taste, the apotheosis of refinement that together with the mirrors, create full chiaroscuro depths of gracefulness, as if there was a breath of wind to move them.

Conditions: in patina and in excellent condition, compatibly with time and use.

A mercury mirror is a little later than the others, but it is still from the 18th century.

Rare sculpture in aged jasper, depicting a monkey with its small.

It is very sculpted, highlights the character expressions of both subjects.
The set has a beautiful patina and is derived from a single hard stone block, like the jasper (difficult to sculpt) which includes the plinth base, bordered at two ends.
The sculpture is a small part not accomplished, as, a macaque paw, is not defined as the other.
