Grand 19th Century French Napoleon III Period Gilded Mirror
About the Item
Grand 19th Century French Napoleon III Period Gilded Mirror is a magnificent example of the craftsmanship and artistry of one of the golden ages in French design! The neoclassical design influence of the ancient Greeks and Romans is clearly evident, design motifs that enamored King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette as well. This particular example is unusual with a relief profile cameo of a beautiful maiden taking center stage, surrounded by intricate detailing, laurel sprays, acanthus plumes, ribbon tied into a bow, and of course two cherubs in full relief on a back drop of floral sprays. The subtly arched crown, so festooned, leads the eye outward to the shoulders which are graced with flaming urn finials set on protruding pediments. The corners feature intaglio foliate impressions accenting the bold molding detail, with acanthus fronds at top and plumes at the base, with tailored yet finely molded framework all between. Conceived for a graciously sized home, the generously sized glass will provide an incredible reflection of your room as well as enhance ambient lighting, just as it has for a century and a half!

19th Century French Napoleon III Embossed & Gilded Mirror
Located in Dallas, TX
19th century French Napoleon III Embossed & gilded mirror displays extraordinary detail in a celebration of the classical style! Embossing patterns include a bordering all around, with a tier of intriguing foliates, next to a gold bordering and a raised, half-cylindrical molding that is raised from the surface and embossed to depict bundled florals with several types of flowers represented in the detail. Finally, around the original beveled mirror itself appears one last triple tier of gold molding with beading accent. The original silver is starting to show distress at the bottom, typical for mirrors of this age, which to the cognoscenti only adds to the charm and allure! A tailored corbel appears at the bottom on each side as a finishing transitional touch to the surface upon which the mirror is mounted, which can range anywhere from the floor to a magnificent fireplace...

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. This mirror is made in Southern France and it has a solid pine frame that was smoothened with gesso. The most elevated part of the frame features a floral engraving and the inner part is adorned with a Classic pearl beading. The ornaments were casted with the use of ground cattle bone and plaster, reinforced with steel wires. The mixture of these materials is used in early mirror frames. Before casting was common practice, ornaments were hand carved in wood. A time consuming process and with the growing demand for these mirrors, new production methods were introduced.
