19th Century Renaissance Revival Giltwood Overmantle Mirror

About the Item

A showstopping 19th century Renaissance Revival giltwood and gesso overmantle mirror of incredible proportions.

There are losses to parts of the crest, and small losses to areas of the gesso on the frame. The original and softly foxed mirror plate and oak backboards are all present.
