About the Item

This French giltwood mirror, dating to circa 1920, is crafted in the Louis XVI style and adorned with neoclassical motifs that speak to timeless elegance. The crest features a finely carved dove resting within a laurel wreath—traditional symbols of peace and victory—set atop a rectangular frame edged with beading and classical side drapery carvings. Tapered foliate details and notched feet complete the symmetrical composition, lending visual weight and balance. Finished in a warm gilt tone with soft, time-worn patina, the frame exhibits natural signs of age that enhance its antique character. The original mirror plate shows light speckling and oxidation, consistent with its early 20th-century origins. The back retains its original wood panels and is fitted with an affixed hanging wire for wall mounting. Measuring approximately 17 inches wide by 1.75 inches deep and 26.5 inches high, this mirror is a refined decorative accent well suited to a powder room, entryway, or dressing table. With its classical symbolism and sculptural quality, it brings a graceful, historic presence to any setting.
