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.

- 19th Century French Napoleon III Embossed & Gilded MirrorLocated in Dallas, TX19th 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...Category
