French 19th Century Carved & Painted Rectangular Mirror, Just Shy

About the Item

A French rectangular mirror, with carved and painted wood surround, from the 19th century. This antique mirror from France has a rectangular-shaped mirrored glass center, with nicely carved wood frame featuring a curled acanthus leaf and shell at top/center, just above the upper cornice which is comprised of a straight/linear molding. The sides and bottom are framed with decorative trim molding with foliage accents. The top and bottom mirror surround have thicker boards extending outward, creating more length to the piece. The glass mirror (not original) is beveled. The wood frame is primarily soft gold tones along the trim, with flat board in a gray/blue with nice areas of wear and patina. This 19th century French mirror with carved surround would make a lovely statement over a fireplace mantel, a bedroom dresser, or perhaps adding a touch of opulence hanging over a powder room sink vanity.
