Flamboyant Witch Mirror — Gilded Wood — 63 cm

A Radiant and Sculptural Masterpiece

This monumental witch’s mirror (or convex mirror) is a stunning tribute to the Baroque and Regency styles. With an impressive overall diameter of 63 cm, it commands attention through its magnetic presence and finely hand-carved wooden frame. The design features a rhythmic interplay of straight, tapered rays and flamboyant, wavy rays, creating a swirling motion that captures light from every angle. The gilding on wood, with its original patina, offers a warm and authentic depth of color. The generous 18 cm convex glass transforms your interior into a panoramic vista, lending a dreamlike dimension to any room.

Studio Cinquante’s Eye

At 63 cm, this mirror is no longer a mere accessory; it is a piece of interior architecture. Its rarity lies both in its scale and the complexity of its undulating rays. The contrast between the 18 cm convex core and the expansive reach of the rays creates a perfect compositional balance. It is the ideal statement piece to hang above a fireplace or a mid-century sideboard, bridging the gap between classical gilded craftsmanship and the energy of contemporary design. A characterful, sun-drenched, and timeless acquisition.
