Antique Octagonal Venetian Etched Glass Mirror With Etched Floral Design

Offered for sale is an Octagonal hand-cut and etched-shaped Venetian glass mirror frame with beveled glass glass ornamentation. It is designed with a triple layer mirror frame (three concentric inner octagonal sections) and a large crest with oval etched center with a floral bouquet. All are set in a wooden framework with a lacquered black edge and a wooden extension supporting crest . With visual inspection, the backing appears to be original. The octagonal shape and crested top along with the beveled mirror add to its desirability and value. Note that the “dog bone shaped” brackets on the exterior can be turned to either cover the seams or lay perpendicular to the seam. All brackets can be set in either position for uniformity.

These mirrors were traditionally crafted in Murano, Italy, a region known for its glassmaking expertise. The mirror features a striking octagonal form framed by individually cut and beveled mirrored panels, each delicately hand-etched with floral and foliate motifs. The ornate crest at the top showcases graceful scrollwork and etched decorative details, lending the piece a romantic Old World character.

The softly antiqued mirrored surface and subtle patina throughout enhance its authentic vintage appeal, reflecting the artistry and craftsmanship associated with Venetian glassmaking. Equally at home in a grand foyer, bedroom, powder room, or above a console, this mirror adds depth, light, and sophistication to any space.
