Mirror in fine Capodimonte porcelain - Porcelain
Impressive wall mirror in fine Capodimonte porcelain.
Naples, 1950s.
Precious wall mirror in fine polychrome Capodimonte porcelain, hand-carved with swirls featuring gold leaf highlights, decorated with flowering branches and embellished with three high-relief carved cherubs. One of them supports the candle holder, the other two are on the sides. The top features a stylized finial.
Note the exceptional refinement of the carved cherubs and their joyful facial expressions, which are inspired by the 18th century style. The beautiful polychromy is further embellished by the fine glazing on the porcelain.
A true masterpiece that may be attributed to Giuseppe Cappè or another extraordinary artist as it is not signed outside but it surely is inside, within the seam, where signatures are usually found. I did not inspect it to avoid damage.
Perfect with no missing parts.
Please take a look at it in the photo gallery.
Dimensions: 52 x 28 cm.
