About the Item

A magnificent over-mantle 19th century French mirror in the Louis Philippe style, the incredible split plate with superb foxing sits within the splendid wooden frame with gilt gesso decoration. The size and proportions of this mirror cannot be overstated, it is immense, standing at well over 2 metres in height and 1.5 metres wide. Some areas of loss to the gesso at the edges, but nothing that detracts from the splendour and impact of this piece. This mirror was removed from a large chateau on the outskirts of Paris before being purchased by a collector of fine arts and antiques and then brought over to the UK where it was in dry storage for many years. Height 222cm x Width 151cm x Depth 8cm Mirror Plate Height 205cm x Width 128cm.
