Absolutely magical Murano mirror, handmade in Italy in 1960. The mirror is decorated with beautiful clear glass flowers around the edge, combined with delicate twisted decorative elements. The mirror itself features elegant detailing and twists along the frame.
The mirror is in fine condition. There is a single repair in the twisted glass at one end and one small repair on a flower. One bead is missing and has been replaced with a new one - all minor details that are barely noticeable. A truly beautiful example of the old Venetian mirrors.
Comes with hanging hardware on the back.

Did you know that Murano’s master glassmakers were considered so valuable to the Republic of Venice that their techniques were treated as state secrets? The artisans of Murano enjoyed special privileges, but their craftsmanship was closely protected to preserve Venice’s reputation as Europe’s leading center of luxury glassmaking.
Murano glass mirrors became some of the most sought-after luxury objects of their time, adorning royal palaces and noble residences throughout Europe. Centuries later, these remarkable pieces continue to be admired for their beauty, craftsmanship, and rich history.
