Italian Rococo Heavily Carved Gold Leaf Mirror, 20th Century, Pair Available

About the Item

This Italian Roccoco style mirror features ornate, heavy carvings and is painted with gold leaf throughout. The 20th century gilt wood mirror has a simply patterned inner frame, which is surrounded by scrolling acanthus leaves mirroring the shape of the glass and frame. The combination of movement and balance is evident here, yielding a quite lovely Italian piece. 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!
