{"product_id":"murano-glass-venetian-mirror-dogaressa","title":"Murano Glass Venetian Mirror — Dogaressa","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDogaressa — Murano Glass Venetian Mirror\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more than a thousand years Venice was ruled by a doge, and beside him stood the \u003cstrong\u003edogaressa\u003c\/strong\u003e, the first lady of the Serenissima, welcomed into the Doge's Palace with processions of silk, music and gold. Dogaressa is a mirror made in her image: a tall, regal silhouette of \u003cstrong\u003ehand-engraved Murano glass\u003c\/strong\u003e, crowned with an arched crest and garlanded with amber-gold glass flowers, as composed and luminous as a Venetian noblewoman dressed for the ball.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story of the Venetian mirror begins on Murano. In \u003cstrong\u003e1507\u003c\/strong\u003e two glassmakers of the island, the brothers \u003cstrong\u003eAndrea and Domenico dal Gallo\u003c\/strong\u003e, obtained from the Republic the exclusive right to make mirrors of crystal glass, clearer and brighter than the polished metal Europe had known until then. Within a century \u003cstrong\u003eVenetian mirrors\u003c\/strong\u003e were coveted by every court on the continent and guarded like a state secret: in 1665 France had to lure Murano mirror-makers to Paris to learn the craft, and less than twenty years later that knowledge lined the \u003cstrong\u003eHall of Mirrors at Versailles\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDogaressa carries that heritage whole. Standing \u003cstrong\u003e160 cm tall\u003c\/strong\u003e, its scalloped frame is composed of many separate mirror sections, each \u003cstrong\u003eengraved by hand\u003c\/strong\u003e with sprays of flowers and leaves, edged with twisted glass cords in amber-gold and joined into one flowing outline. At the top, the crest holds an engraved basket of flowers; all around it, \u003cstrong\u003eglass flowers and leaves shaped by hand\u003c\/strong\u003e catch the light like jewels. By day the mirror glows softly; by lamplight or candlelight the engravings come alive and the whole frame seems to shimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHang it above a console in an entrance hall, over a fireplace or in a dressing room and it becomes part of the architecture: at this scale a Venetian mirror is not an accessory but the centrepiece of the room, doubling its light and its depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDogaressa is \u003cstrong\u003ehandmade in Murano by Fratelli Tosi\u003c\/strong\u003e, a family glassworks founded in the early 1900s by Romano Tosi and known worldwide for its Venetian mirrors and Murano glass furniture.
