Lot Essay

Similar mirrors include two possibly originally conceived as a picture frames, sold by Christie's, New York, 22 October 2024, lot 233 ($94,500) and Christie's, London, 7 April 2004, lot 381 (£4,780). For an example with canted corners similar to ours, see that sold from the Collection of Nelson Grimaldi Seabra, Christie's, New York, 22 October 2003, lot 81 ($41,825). For a related Spanish mirror of the same period, with octagonal outer slips, see G. Child, World Mirrors, London, 1990, p. 324, fig. 734, who posits a connection between its geometricity and the region's Moorish architecture.
