About

This charming 19th-century French wall mirror dates to the Louis Philippe period, circa 1850. The understated elegance of the era is captured in its gently arched rectangular form, framed with a molded surround featuring a rich ebonized finish contrasted by an inner border of fluted giltwood. The restrained decoration and graceful lines are emblematic of Louis Philippe design, which favored refinement over excess. The original mercury glass remains intact, showing light foxing that enhances its antique character. The back is constructed with solid wood planks and marked with early stenciled numerals, indicative of its age and authenticity. New device in the back. Measuring 22.5 inches wide by 31 inches high, this antique mirror is well-proportioned for use in a powder room, above a console in an entry, or in a hallway. A versatile and decorative accent, it brings a touch of 19th-century French sophistication to both classic and contemporary interiors.
