Verified profile

In the eighteenth century, mirrors of this size were produced only in Paris. So in 1736, sparing no expense, Maddalena Doria had a large glass plate delivered to Palazzo Spinola directly from the French capital. The mirror was transported by sea and, to frame it, a large wooden structure rich in ornamental details was built in Genoa. Flowers, dragons and cherubs interact with the other decorations in the room and transform a piece of furniture into a sculpture masterpiece.
