GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Baroque exuberance abounds on this mirror frame carved in high relief. Mirrors were often as valuable and important as paintings in 16th- and early 17th-century interiors and were frequently framed even more elaborately than pictures. This mirror frame is of a type produced in Italy, France, Flanders, and England in the mid-17th century for aristocratic or upper-middle-class interiors.
