Russian Gilt and Lacquer Mirror
A Russian giltwood and lacquer mirror with an arched top and dense, sculptural carving. Light moves quickly across the alternating relief patterns. The lacquered ground adds depth to the gilt surface, creating a layered tonal quality. Its scale draws attention to the precision characteristic of 19th-century Russian ornament. The interplay of dark lacquer and bright gilt creates a vivid surface contrast common in Russian decorative arts. The mirror’s silhouette is petite but carries a strong architectural presence.
