About the Item
An exquisite 18th century French gilded marriage mirror, richly hand-carved in wood and finished in original water gilt. This ceremonial piece was traditionally presented to newlyweds as a symbol of prosperity and fidelity. The mirror features a striking crest adorned with romantic motifs—typically birds, floral garlands, laurel wreaths, and a pair of doves or hearts—representing love and union.
Elegant neoclassical lines frame the original mercury glass, which has gracefully aged to a soft, silvery patina. The giltwood surround retains its time-worn luster with delicate wear and burnishing consistent with age. A rare and meaningful artifact of French decorative history, this mirror brings both beauty and symbolism to any interior—ideal above a mantel, console, or in a romantic bedroom setting.
