About the Item

Carved in France circa 1870, this richly detailed wall mirror is a fine example of Black Forest-style craftsmanship, distinguished by its deeply sculptural forms and organic naturalism. Made from solid walnut, the frame is hand-carved in high relief with an abundance of forest-inspired motifs including scrolling foliage, clusters of wildflowers, and undulating bark-like forms that wrap around the asymmetrical silhouette. The mirror plate is shaped in a graceful taper and inset seamlessly into the wood, retaining a lovely aged surface with light foxing. The walnut boasts a warm, honeyed patina that highlights the intricate carving and natural grain. Measuring 20.5 inches high by 11 inches wide and 2.75 inches deep, this antique mirror would make a unique accent in a rustic cabin, woodland retreat, or a curated wall of curiosities. A rare and charming decorative object, perfect for collectors of 19th-century French carving or alpine decorative arts.
