About the Item

A French petite mirror in the Louis XVI style, dating to circa 1870, with lustrous, carved gilt wood detail radiating an effect much larger than its diminutive proportions. At the top of the piece, a scalloped crown rises above a pediment in floral and foliate carvings that hang down to the upper edges of the frame, suggesting abundance even in small proportions. Ornate carvings surround the original mirror plate–speckled with abstract patches of dark foxing–patinated to expose some of the red bole underneath the gold. Please view the detailed images to see more of this enchanting little mirror.
