About

Decorate a powder room or entryway with this stately antique mirror, crafted in France circa 1880 in the neoclassical Louis XVI style. The rectangular giltwood frame is crowned with a boldly carved cartouche featuring a crossed quiver and torch bound by laurel branches, traditional symbols of love and triumph, encircled by a laurel wreath and rendered in high relief with a warm, time-worn gold finish. The frame is embellished with beaded trim, stylized corner blocks, and rests on fluted toupie feet, all reflecting the elegant symmetry and classical restraint of the Louis XVI aesthetic. The original mirror plate displays scattered foxing, adding depth and authentic antique character. The back retains its wood panel construction, fitted with a later-added wire for secure hanging. Measuring 21 inches wide by 36.5 inches high and 1.5 inches deep, this elegant Louis XVI mirror brings refined ornamentation and historical charm to any interior. Excellent condition commensurate with age and use.
