A highly decorative late 19th century Venetian glass mirror with reverse etched patterning and detailed hand painted enamelled blue glass panels. The central bevelled plate within the decorative frame beneath an exuberant scrolled crest with a central painted and enamelled blue glass cartouche. The enamelled blue glass section is surrounded by a bevelled mirror plate featuring floral, scrolled, swirled, and cut patterned glass.
There was a revival of Venetian mirror making towards the end of the 19th century when glassmakers worked hard to keep the production of Venetian glass as an art form. The cosmopolitan tastes of the increasing number of European travellers created what could be termed a pan-European style equally at home in London, Paris or Rome.
