Historical notes and mobile curiosities

Some years ago one of our American retailers brought us photos of this important rectangular carved luxury mirror, asking us to reproduce a copy. On special permission we visited Cà Biondetti, the eighteenth-century residence where the original is located, so as to be able to create the photographic material necessary to reproduce it. We also detected the outlines of the external forms of the carving, so as to be able to then sculpt it by hand on the bench.
