Antique trumeau-style mirror with print of Giovanni Antonio Canal’s (“Canaletto” – Venetian, 1697 – 1768) “Piazza San Marco” in Venice, completed between 1742 and 1744. The mirror is stamped “P.P.G. & Co. Jan. 1922″ (history below). The commercially-produced print is a replacement and dates from the mid 20th century; lovely muted colors with an aged look. The antique mirror, built on a wooden frame, has a stippled design and an applied ornate crown featuring scrolls and florals. The mirror is heavy and thick, measuring 1/4″ thick. Overall measurements are 30″ x 7-5/8″; the mirror area is 17-5/8″ x 5-5/8″ and the print area is 7-5/8″ x 5-5/8”. Very good preowned antique condition with a couple of areas of missing silver on the mirror, a nick on the underside in the upper left corner of the mirror, and missing tip of the crown at the very top. None of these detracts–see photos. New backing; ready to hang. Great piece for European-inspired interiors and the perfect size for those hard-to-style narrow walls.
NOTE: The red line running across the print is one of three ship’s masts symbolizing Venice’s conquered territories (Cyprus, Crete, Peloponnese) and later repurposed to represent Freedom, Virtue, and Equality, flying the Venetian, Italian and European flags.

I purchased two items from this shop. They arrived surprisingly quickly, and it was evident that extreme care was taken to ensure they arrived safely. I greatly appreciate the attention and extra care when packaging up the items. How sad it would be to purchase an antique that has survived multiple generations, only to be destroyed by USPS! Thank you so much for a wonderful shopping experience!
