About the Item

Elegant French Louis XVI wall mirror crafted in carved and giltwood (walnut), dating from circa 1750–1780. The rectangular frame is richly decorated with finely carved ornamentation and a delicate beaded inner border, creating a refined and classically balanced appearance. The original gilding has acquired a beautiful warm patina over time, with areas of the red bole ground naturally showing through, bearing witness to the mirror's age and authenticity. The original mercury mirror plate displays a striking, naturally foxed surface with beautiful oxidation and age-related character, creating remarkable depth and a decorative quality that only centuries-old mercury glass can achieve. Presented in good original condition with charming age-related patina consistent with its age. Measurements: H: 63 cm (24.8 in.) · W: 51 cm (20.1 in.) · D: 4 cm (1.6 in.). France, circa 1750–1780.
