About

A refined antique French oval wall mirror crafted in carved giltwood circa 1860, showcasing the fluid and decorative character of the Louis XV style. The frame is richly sculpted with a continuous beaded inner molding and a repeating pattern of rounded reserves, all finished in a warm gilt surface with subtle red bole undertones adding depth and age. The mirror is crowned by an elaborate Rococo crest centered with a carved shell, surrounded by scrolling foliage and floral elements, while a matching floral and foliate cartouche anchors the base. The overall silhouette is soft and undulating, giving the piece a sense of movement and elegance typical of the period. The mirror retains its original beveled mercury glass, showing light foxing and age spotting that enhance its authentic antique character, along with its original wood backing. Ideal for a powder room, entry, or above a console, it brings warmth, scale, and classic French presence to any interior. The piece is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use. Dimensions: 31.75″W x 6.5″D x 45″H
