Louis XVI style French mirror wall carved and gilded wood

About the Item

Outstanding carved and gilded wooden mirror, made during the first quarter of the 20th century in the Louis XVI style. The silvered mirror is framed in a rectangular main body. At the top there is a lush, slender and light crest, which has a large rocaille in its central area. This central rocaille is joined by delicate volutes with the plant elements that extend along the sides of the mirror. For some authors, Louis XVI is a style with a marked “feminine” tendency, and should even have been called “Marie Antoinette”. It contrasts with Louis XV due to its simplicity, and the rigor of geometric shapes and straight lines can be appreciated again, inspiration that it receives directly from classical architecture. It is characterized by lightness, harmony and proportion, leaving aside the heaviness and excess of the styles that it follows. It stands out as a more discreet and elegant style than its predecessor. With this exquisite mirror you will bring a refined and elegant style to any space and environment. These mirrors are highly sought after in the art market for their refinement and timeless aesthetics. Suitable for any environment, in a composition with more mirrors or as a single piece.
