Antique Late 19th-century French gold leaf gilt striped Louis Philippe mirror
About the Item
Offered here is a beautiful antique gold leaf-gilded Louis Philippe mirror from France. This mirror dates back to around 1870 and features rounded upper corners characteristic of the Louis Philippe style. Crafted in the south of France, it is constructed on a frame of solid pine wood smoothed with a layer of gesso. The frame is adorned with a decorative border on the outer edge and a stripe pattern on the central part of the mirror frame. Encircling the glass is a classic pearl border.
The mirror is partially adorned with gold leaf gilding and partially gilded with gold paint. The gold paint was created by mixing gold powder with clear lacquer, then polished and patinated to achieve different shine and color gradients. The mirror frame remains in good antique condition, displaying a beautifully developed patina over the years.
The mirror glass is authentic, featuring a silver nitrate gilded glass plate. The paint used to fixate the silver layer has reacted with the mirror layer, resulting in streaks of a reddish hue visible in the glass. Upon request, we can replace the mirror plate with a new one.
The original wooden back and mirror were delicately removed from the frame, thoroughly cleaned, and securely reattached. This exquisite piece embodies classic craftsmanship and carries the unique charm of its age.
