  • Antique 19th Century Napoleon III French Oval Mirror
    Located in Casteren, NL
    A beautiful large oval mirror with rich ornaments and original facetted mirror plate. The mirror has a very warm antique look and feel. The mirror has an ornate top decoration with a central “fleur de lis” with floral elements. At the bottom, there is also a smaller decoration with acanthus and floral elements.

  • 19th Century French Louis Philippe Mirror in Antique White
    Located in Casteren, NL
    This 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...
