Baroque Style Sunburst Mirror, Unknown, 1920s, Peru - Lot PE2

Description

This rare Baroque Colonial sunburst mirror belonged to a private residence in Cusco, the Peruvian region in the Andes with the finest artisans of the country. This mirror is made in hardwood, plaster, and gold leaf sheets. While the style is inspired in Baroque colonial sunburst mirrors, the technique was executed by Peruvian artisans in the 1920s. This can be seen in the rich texture and unique gold detailing, resembling ethnic motifs from the Andes. The glass is also original. The mirror is in its original condition and while it has some minor dents and small pieces of plaster missing (as detailed in the pictures), the piece is in great condition and will certainly fit into any interior space.
