About the Item
This exquisite and romantic 19th century French oval mirror features an elaborately carved and gilded wooden frame, richly adorned with finely detailed floral motifs in high relief. Crafted in the Louis XVI or possibly late Louis XV style, the frame showcases a delicate rope-like inner molding encircling the mirror glass, which is bordered by symmetrical garlands of roses, peonies, daisies, and other blooms intricately arranged in clusters at the cardinal points, top, bottom, and sides.
The floral ornamentation is set on a textured background resembling cross-hatched fabric, adding depth and dimension to the surrounding smooth gilded surfaces. The gesso and gold leaf finish remains largely intact, with a beautiful warm patina that enhances its antique charm. Subtle wear and age-related cracks to the gilding are visible in areas, testifying to its authenticity and historical character.
The original mercury glass is preserved and displays natural oxidation, with characteristic black speckling and ghostly reflections, enhancing the mirror’s poetic and romantic allure. The wooden back remains solid and well-secured, and the hanging system appears intact and functional.
Ideal for a decorative wall or console setting, this elegant mirror combines fine craftsmanship, floral exuberance, and a timeless sense of romantic French refinement, making it a statement piece in both classical and eclectic interiors.
