Pair of pier-glass and console tables

Attributed to the Italian artist Luigi Chiari, these trumeau mirrors would have been created for the Carrancas Palace Music Room.

Luigi Chiari would have worked on the palace interiors, designing a set in neoclassical style for the Music Room. There is a principle of decorative harmony followed between the furniture – namely the carving of the pier-glass and console tables and the delicate oil figures on the mirrors – and the stuccoes and paintings depicting the Bacchae in the corners of the ceiling.
