At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal French gilt mirror for your home. Frequently made of
wood,
glass and
mirror, every French gilt mirror was constructed with great care. There are 3676 variations of the antique or vintage French gilt mirror you’re looking for, while we also have 22 modern editions of this piece to choose from as well. You’ve searched high and low for the perfect French gilt mirror — we have versions that date back to the 18th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 21st Century are available. When you’re browsing for the right French gilt mirror, those designed in
Louis XVI,
Louis XV and
Mid-Century Modern styles are of considerable interest. You’ll likely find more than one French gilt mirror that is appealing in its simplicity, but
Maison Baguès,
Maison Jansen and
Chaty Vallauris produced versions that are worth a look.
Vintage mirrors have long been a measure of craftsmanship, from gilded Rococo frames to the sunburst shapes that became a signature of mid-century design.
Styles to Know
An arched or sunburst mirror reads more decorative, while a plain rectangular frame lets the room around it stand out. Hang one above a vintage vanity or a mid-century modern dresser, or lean a larger floor mirror against the wall as a standalone piece.
How to Choose the Right Vintage Mirror
Foxing and an aged frame usually read as character rather than damage, worth weighing against a listing's condition notes. For placement ideas, our 12 dramatic mirrors feature is a good place to start. Each piece comes from a vetted 1stDibs seller, with era and designer on record, and the 1stDibs Promise covers each purchase.
