Venice, circa 1750s

This Venetian mirror is an example of the fascination for the products of the East, made possible through Venice's vast trade networks. Venetian workshops produced mirrors decorated in black or red lacca, imitating oriental lacquer, often embellished with mother of pearl inlay between the late‑17th and mid‑18th centuries.
