About the Item
A magnificent 19th century French giltwood tabernacle style mirror in the Louis XVI taste, the exquisite Neoclassical carvings around the (dark green) painted frame appear even more theatrical under a layer of gold. At the top of the piece is an anthemion design rising out of a fountain from which two swans drink. Their feathers spread toward the edges of the frame morphing into glorious scrolls. The frame takes an architectural quality with two wide columns on either side–of the Corinthian order–with capitals of implied foliate decoration matching the garland at the middle, and terminating with a kind of gadroon texture on the column bases. Mirror plate is likely a more recent replacement, the glass shows no foxing and crystals are absent; it is surrounded by low-relief carved gilt moulding outlined in a dark green painted molding. Strung with cord, ready to hang in your interior. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition.
