Condition
L'illustration est trop rouge. Légère différeence de teinte. Très joli modèle de cadre, intéressant et rare à trouver par paire. Dessin vigoureux, belle qualité de sculpture, importance des reliefs et contrastes.
Il existerait un dessin de ces cadres de la main d'un ornemaniste italien , ce qui confirme notre point de vue sur l'influence des sculpteurs italiens ayant travaillé en Flandres.
Peu ou très peu d'éclats visibles.
Les miroirs probablement anciens, avec des usures.
Petits éclats ponctuels à la dorure.
Quelques traces de trous de vers.
Beau modèle en paire à recommander.

Catalogue Note
Ces cadres de miroir en bois sculpté montrent clairement l'impact des influences stylistiques étrangères et plus particulièrement italiennes sur les artisans flamands. Parmi ces derniers on peut citer Artus Quellinus ou Quellien (1609-1688) dont le nom est souvent associé au baroque hollandais. Ce sculpteur anversois a voyagé en Italie et ne cachait pas avoir été très impressionné par les artistes italiens.
