About the Item

Large mirror attributed to Gabriel Viardot. Irregularly shaped contoured mirror supported by the claws of an imposing dragon in carved wood gilded with gold leaf. Dated late 1800' this imposing Gothic - Chinoiserie style mirror is attributed to the great French cabinetmaker Gabriel Viardot. Gabriel Viardot was a master in making furniture freely interpreted in the "Chinese-Japanese style" by adapting it to the European taste of the time. Note the skill with which the dragon was made, the perfect carving of the snout and paws make it look alive and fierce. This stunning mirror is capable of furnishing a room by itself given its severity and austerity. Intact and perfect without any kind of defect.
