Grand 19th Century French Renaissance Mirror

About the Item

Grand 19th Century French Renaissance Mirror is more than just a mirror, it's a work of art! The sculptor who created it was truly talented, and worked in bold full relief to capture the essence of the bounty of nature in the framework from one side to the other. A bold acanthus scrollwork provides the corner base from which the carvings emanate, with luxuriant scrolls continuing up each side accented with bounty-of-the-earth represented by various fruits, continuing all the way up and around the rounded upper corners. The bold acanthus flourishes then expand across the crown to reach a peak at the center, which is dominated by an heraldic crest carved with peaches, a cluster of grapes, and foliage in bold relief. Painstakingly stripped using our proprietary process that retains the patina and sheer natural beauty of the old wood, all performed by our expert in-house staff. Circa 1880s Measures 83H x 47.5W x 4.5D Available for pickup in the Dallas Design District, Dallas, TX.

  • 19th Century French Napoleon III Embossed & Gilded Mirror
    Located in Dallas, TX
    19th century French Napoleon III Embossed & gilded mirror displays extraordinary detail in a celebration of the classical style! Embossing patterns include a bordering all around, with a tier of intriguing foliates, next to a gold bordering and a raised, half-cylindrical molding that is raised from the surface and embossed to depict bundled florals with several types of flowers represented in the detail. Finally, around the original beveled mirror itself appears one last triple tier of gold molding with beading accent. The original silver is starting to show distress at the bottom, typical for mirrors of this age, which to the cognoscenti only adds to the charm and allure! A tailored corbel appears at the bottom on each side as a finishing transitional touch to the surface upon which the mirror is mounted, which can range anywhere from the floor to a magnificent fireplace...
