MIRROR WITH SILVER AND ENAMELS FRAME. WOOD, GLASS, ETC. MEXICAN SCHOOL, 17TH CENTURY.

Mirror with cabochon frame. Silver, enamel, wood, stucco, etc. Mexican school, 17th century. No contrast marks. It has faults. Mirror with a slightly rectangular frame made of wood with polychrome areas and an embossed silver plating on stucco and enhanced with enamel cabochons with geometric elements in dark and light blue. In front there are a series of smooth moldings, one of which is the one with the aforementioned polychrome. The silver stripe is distributed around the outside of the piece, with the corners in exposed wood and smooth silver stripes (two on each side), and a decoration with a certain volume in which architectural elements of clear classicist influence are combined (in the center of which are the enamel cabochons), flanked in the most elongated areas by compositions with scrolls, volutes, plant and fruit motifs. Stylistically speaking, the work can be linked to works in the same technique carried out in Mexico, mainly in caskets. Also, as is usual due to the peninsular influence, it is possible to remember works such as the Holy Thursday Chest from the 17th century from Barbastro. Weight: 5.7kg.
