About

Place this elegant antique Louis Philippe wall mirror above a mantel, console, commode, or in a refined powder room to introduce soft light and timeless French character to a space. Crafted in France circa 1870, the mirror features the classic rounded rectangular silhouette associated with the Louis Philippe period, defined by gently curved upper corners and a generous molded frame. The frame is finished in a softly timeworn silver leaf with subtle traces of gilt showing through the surface, creating a warm layered patina developed over time. The wide molding is decorated with a hand-engraved crosshatch motif that runs around the frame, adding delicate texture and quiet visual movement. A fine inner beaded trim surrounds the glass and provides a crisp transition between the frame and mirror plate. The mirror retains its original mercury glass remaining clear and fully functional. The back reveals old plank construction and period mounting, further confirming its authentic antique craftsmanship. Excellent antique condition commensurate with age and use. Dimensions: 32.5″W x 44.25″H
