About the Item

This small French mirror from circa 1920 is a poetic echo of neoclassical grandeur, carved in wood and adorned with a lustrous gold finish. Measuring approximately 14 inches wide, 2 inches deep, and 25.75 inches high, it features a deeply architectural profile crowned by an urn finial framed by laurel garlands and floral detail—a composition that evokes classical triumph and decorative elegance. The rectangular frame is bordered by beaded trim and stylized foliage along the sides and feet, lending visual rhythm and a sense of timeless artistry. Despite its compact size, the mirror carries a strong decorative presence, ideal for adding golden light to an entryway, bedroom, or intimate gallery wall. The patina of the original gilt surface lends depth and softness, while the lightly foxed mirror plate hints at its age without overpowering the reflection. Versatile in placement and rich in detail, this early 20th-century mirror bridges Neoclassical revival and provincial charm, bringing both refinement and warmth to traditional and collected interiors.
