About the Item

This French Empire mantle mirror (c. 1800) exhibits restrained surface decoration concentrated to intermittent, low-relief floral motifs that leave ample space for the gilt molding to reveal its red bole underneath the gold, adding warmth and texture to the rectilinear design. The molding is largely plain and smooth, with garlands of botanical theme stationed at the corners and midpoints along the perimeter. The original mirror plates (stacked one on top of the other) reflect a fine dusting of crystals among the foxing. Please view the detailed images to see more, and the current condition.
