About the Item

This exquisite French mirror dates to the late 19th century and is a superb example of Rococo revival craftsmanship. The frame is richly decorated with hand-carved floral and acanthus motifs, all meticulously highlighted with original gold leaf gilding. At the center of the crest, a bold open-shell cartouche rises dramatically, flanked by scrolling foliage and blooming flowers, lending the piece a theatrical elegance characteristic of the Louis XV style. The mirror’s generous proportions make it ideal as a statement piece, whether placed above a console, fireplace mantel, or simply resting against a wall. The original mercury glass retains a beautiful clarity with the subtle, desirable signs of aging that add depth and authenticity. The wood frame, likely carved from beech, remains structurally sound and richly detailed with layered patterns of rosettes and scrolls. The gilding has developed a beautiful, timeworn patina, offering a soft, luminous glow. Perfect for both traditional and eclectic interiors, this antique mirror brings a regal presence to any room. A rare and decorative piece that effortlessly blends artistry, history, and timeless French charm.
