Antique 19th-century French Faux Rosewood Painted Louis Philippe Mirror
About the Item
"This exceptional large mirror was crafted in Northern France at the end of the 19th century, around 1870. The mirror features the characteristic rounded upper corners typical of the Louis Philippe furniture style. Adorned with a richly ornamented crown ornament on top, the crown consists of a centrally placed cluster of grapes with leaves, flanked by c-scrolls, acanthus, and flowers. The mirror frame has a base of solid pine wood and was smoothed with a layer of gesso. The crown was cast from plaster and internally reinforced with steel wire. The mirror boasts a complete faux rosewood painting, with a beautiful wood grain painted in dark brown and reddish-brown tones. The mirror has a deep gloss and a rich patina. The combination of such a large and richly ornamented mirror with the faux rosewood painting is very rare. We replaced the glass with a new thick mirror plate and installed a protective pine back. This unique mirror is without damage, clean, and ready for use."

- 19th Century French Louis Philippe Mirror in Antique WhiteLocated in Casteren, NLThis beautiful antique French Louis Philippe mirror has an ornate crest on top and floral ornaments in both lower corners. The gadrooned frame has a pearl beading surrounding the outer edge. This mirror is made in the south of France circa 1850 and is an early Louis Philippe mirror. The crest is not made in one mold, but it is composed out of multiple ornaments. Also, the mixture used to cast the molds has a big part of ground cattlebone. Later mirrors, when the demand for such mirror was increased significantly, had crests cast in one mold and the cattle bone was replaced for chalk. This mirror frame has been cleaned from its original golden color. The off-white color is the color of the raw material. The frame has been colored with an off-white patina to smoothen the color. The whole mirror frame now has a pastel white finish with nice patina. The glass has been renewed circa 20...Category
