Pair of French 19th Century Parcel Gilt and Painted Mirrors

About the Item

A sublime pair of 19th century mantel mirrors hand-crafted in France featuring gorgeous hand-carved molded and trimmed wood frames with les perles beading around the glass. Finished in cream polished gesso and gilt that has experienced some loss due to time, exposing some of the red bole substratum. Often referred to as “French Red '' this facet of gilt mirrors is sought after. The frames also have portions painted in a lovely creme color. Both the painted and gilt finishes have aged marvelously. The glass is in wonderful antique condition, with some foxing present. The unique textures, style, and elegance of these mirrors have universal appeal that ensures their acceptance in any space. Be sure to view all the images to get a closer look. Sold as a pair only.
