The crest features a radiating shell motif with incised detailing and remnants of original polychrome and gilded decoration in muted oxblood reds, soft celadon greens, and warm, time-worn gilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface retains a beautifully aged patina with visible layers of historic paint and gilding, revealing centuries of character. The carving is expressive yet refined — likely Southern Italian, possibly Neapolitan, where such theatrical forms were favored in ecclesiastical and aristocratic interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mirror plate appears later, as expected, and sits within a molded inner frame. The reverse shows traditional plank construction and early iron chain support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"_9415d43e\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_9ab89a9d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\" class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eDimensions:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-tn=\"pdp-spec-dimensions\" class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-height\" class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eHeight: 59 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-width\" class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eWidth: 48 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-depth\" class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eDepth: 6.5 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_9ab89a9d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\" class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eSold As:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-tn=\"pdp-spec-sold-as\" class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\u003cspan data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-setSize\" class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eSet of 1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_9ab89a9d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\" class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eStyle:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-tn=\"pdp-spec-style\" class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003eNeoclassical\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_9ab89a9d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\" class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eMaterials and Techniques:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-tn=\"pdp-spec-materials-and-techniques\" class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003eMirror,  Wood,  Paint\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_9ab89a9d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\" class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003ePlace of Origin:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-tn=\"pdp-spec-place-of-origin\" class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003eItaly\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_9ab89a9d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\" class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eDate of Manufacture:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-tn=\"pdp-spec-date-of-manufacture\" class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\u003cspan data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-dateOfManufacture\" class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eEarly 20th century\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_9ab89a9d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\" class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eCondition:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-tn=\"pdp-spec-condition\" class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-condition\" class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\"\u003e\u003cbutton type=\"button\" data-tn=\"open-condition-modal\" class=\"_1862016c _57a9be25\"\u003eDistressed\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-conditionDetails\" class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eWear consistent with age and use.
