Pair of Italian 18th Century Wood Gilt Mirrors

This beautiful pair of Italian Louis XV mirrors date back to the mid 18th century, circa 1760. They are fantastically hand carved with outreaching scroll and foliate work. Note the crest at bottom, the cross work in the middle portion indicative of Louis XV, and the added elements extending north, east, south, and west giving both great movement and balance. The gold portions are gilded, that is they are painted with real gold, and the visible wood background is hand painted.
