About

Circa 1870, this elegant French wall mirror reflects the restrained refinement of the Louis Philippe period. The rectangular frame with softly rounded corners is crafted in wood and finished in hand-applied silver leaf that has developed a beautiful aged patina over time. The wide molded frame is decorated with a subtle engraved crosshatch motif running along the inner band, adding quiet texture and depth while maintaining the clean architectural lines characteristic of the style. The original mercury glass plate remains clear and bright, offering a soft reflection typical of 19th century mirrors. The silver leaf finish shows natural rubbing and gentle tonal variation that enhance its authentic antique character and highlight the timeworn surface expected from a piece of this age. The back reveals traditional plank construction and period mounting, further confirming its age and craftsmanship. This antique French mirror works beautifully above a commode, console, or in a powder room, entry, or bedroom where its understated elegance complements both traditional and transitional interiors. The piece is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use. Dimensions: 30.5″W x 41″H
