About

Add luminous presence and sculptural elegance to any interior with this monumental Italian sunburst mirror, crafted circa 2010 and measuring an impressive 62.75 inches in diameter. Designed in a Classic Sunbeam silhouette, the mirror features a two-tier arrangement of radiating rays surrounding a central circular mirror plate. The inner rays are finished in warm gilt tones, while the outer ring—carved from a separate board and painted in a refined white palette with delicate gilded accents—extends outward to create dramatic depth and a striking halo-like effect. The mirror remains in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, presenting a richly patinated painted and gilt surface inspired by antique finishes. Bold yet harmonious, this sculptural wall element is versatile enough to anchor a foyer, elevate a hallway, crown a mantel, or serve as an eye-catching focal point above a console or commode. The sunburst motif itself carries a storied pedigree: originating in the radiant halos of medieval sacred art, it later became synonymous with the grandeur of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who famously embraced the emblem as a symbol of absolute power and divine light. This monumental mirror continues that legacy, transforming any room with its dramatic scale and timeless radiance. Measures: 62.75″ diameter
