About

Anchor a room with this impressive antique French giltwood mirror, crafted circa 1870 in the Louis Philippe taste. The substantial rectangular frame with softly rounded corners features a richly carved surround, adorned with applied floral and foliate reliefs at the corners and along the rails. The sculptural decoration adds depth and movement, while the broad molded profile retains a warm, luminous gold finish with a beautifully aged patina.
The mirror retains a later replaced glass plate, offering a clear reflection while preserving the integrity of the original frame. The back shows traditional wood construction, and the piece can be displayed either vertically or horizontally, allowing for versatile placement in a powder room, an entry, above a large console, or as a focal point in a living room or bedroom.
The antique mirror is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, with minor wear to the gilt surface consistent with time, enhancing its authenticity and character.
Dimensions: 46.5″W x 4.75″D x 38.75″H
