This type of boldly carved scrolled acanthus leaf mirror was produced in various centres in Italy in the late 17th and early 18th century. Carvers were often inspired by engravings such as those of Filippo Passarini 'Nuove inventioni d'ornamenti...', executed in Rome in 1698 (E. Colle, Il Mobile Barocco in Italia, Milano, 2000, p. 110, pl. 24). For a related mirror see E. Colle, op. cit., p.112.
