About the Item

This gorgeous Louis XVI rectangular mirror is gold leafed, and dates back to the 19th century, circa 1860. The piece is a combination of giltwood and gilt-gesso. The top of the piece features a pair of male and female figures laid back with garlands flowing beneath them. The frame is adorned with carved and gold leafed acanthus leaves, two urns to the outer right and left, and an inset frame which is connected to the outer frame by delicate ribbon work. It’s a detailed and beautiful depiction of hand carving with gold leaf. This piece is a collection of a fourth generation, family owned business in New Orleans called The French Antique Shop. The store was first opened by Marie and Marcel Granet in Paris when they married in 1927. A jewish family, they came to the United States before the outbreak of the Second World War, leaving on the last boat out of Paris' port, Le Havre. When they reached New Orleans, they fell in love with the Vieux Carre as it reminded them of home. Their first shop here in New Orleans was located on Chartres Street in the French Quarter and was stocked originally with pieces they had brought with them from Paris. They moved to Royal Street and settled in their present expanded location at 225 Royal Street in 1947. Today, the shop is run by the third and fourth generation, Marc, and his two sons Michael and Brian. By purchasing from our shop, you're supporting a family run business which focuses on artisan made, high quality craft with an emphasis on quality. Thank you for helping us continue a dream started four generations ago!
