About the Item
This stunning early twentieth-century French giltwood wall mirror is crafted from gilded and molded gesso and pine wood, featuring beveled mirror glass. The frame is adorned with a floral garland at the top and floral clusters punctuating the sides and bottom of the frame. Additionally, the top boasts a beribboned foliage crest and a roundel with a porcelain plaque depicting a courting scene in the style of artist Jean-Honoré Fragonard.
This transitional Louis XVI-style mirror showcases the epitome of luxury and craftsmanship. This style emerged during the reign of King King Louis XVI (1774-1793), a refined evolution of Louis XV's rococo stylings. It was characterized by more straight lines and included motifs inspired by the classical age. The porcelain plaque pays homage to the transitional Rococo aspects of this piece, referencing the style of Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806), one of the most prolific eighteenth-century painters and draftsmen. His works are renowned as some of the most influential pieces of the late Rococo style, and the ‘Fragonard courting couple’ became a popular motif in revival pieces.
This mirror is an exquisite example of historical revival. The glistening gold gilt and intricate details make this a stunning statement piece, perfect for adding a touch of elegance to any home.
