About the Item

French Louis XVI period giltwood mirror circa 1790 with carved ribbon-tied liberal arts allegory, laurel leaves and pine cone motifs, painted background, slightly aged mirror and rustic character. Introducing a magnificent French Louis XVI period giltwood mirror, circa 1790, which gracefully melds elegance with rustic character, capturing the essence of its time. The mirror is adorned with an exquisite carved ribbon-tied allegory of the liberal arts, a symbol of knowledge and creativity that was highly celebrated during the period. This splendid design element is further enhanced by delicate laurel leaves that encircle the frame, providing a touch of natural beauty and charm. The frame's beautifully aged giltwood finish, with its warm golden tones, seamlessly complements the painted background, creating a harmonious balance between sophistication and a sense of time-worn grace. The mirror itself, slightly aged and bearing the marks of its history, reflects not only the light but also the unique character of this exceptional piece. The lower section is carved with pinecone motifs.
