This small Italian mirror is a masterpiece of refinement.<\/p>\n

Dating from the Renaissance period, the frame is inspired by classical architecture.<\/p>\n

Sober and beautifully harmonious, it follows an antiquizing architectural order with its lateral pilasters topped by turned knobs that frame the entablature, repeating the same motif at the base.<\/p>\n

The cornices are moulded, giving rhythm and structure to the composition. The upper cornice, more substantial, houses a beautiful egg-and-dart frieze.<\/p>\n

The pilasters are decorated with panels revealing perspective trompe-l\u2019\u0153il motifs executed in certosina. The two horizontal stretchers similarly display an interlacing pattern rendered in perspective.<\/p>\n

This marquetry ornamentation is composed of small pieces used to create geometric forms, frames, twists, and other polygonal friezes.<\/p>\n

Etymologically, certosina referred to work produced by the Carthusians. The disciples of Saint Bruno devoted themselves for centuries to inlay work in wood, as well as marquetry in bone, ivory, mother-of-pearl, and pewter. The technique quickly spread beyond the monastic order, particularly into the workshops of Florentine marquetry makers.<\/p>\n

The richness of its decoration and the quality of its craftsmanship suggest that this small mirror once belonged in the chamber of one of the grand residences of its time.<\/p>\n
