About the Item

An elegant French mirror in a rectangular shape with rounded upper corners, made of black-lacquered wood and decorated with gold leaf. The frame, which is quite wide (about 8.3 cm), is embellished with an elegant inner band featuring a pattern of gold beads that lends depth and balance to the overall design. The combination of the glossy black lacquer and the gilded surfaces—now pleasantly weathered by time—evokes the French decorative style of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, making the piece particularly versatile in both classic and contemporary settings. The mirror is made of genuine silver and shows slight, widespread oxidation, a sign of its authenticity and the natural passage of time, without compromising its functionality or the quality of the reflection. The gilding shows normal signs of wear and slight abrasions consistent with the object's age, while the lacquer has been retouched in some places in the past to even out small areas of wear and ensure a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The back panel and fasteners were replaced more recently. A mirror with a simple yet elegant design, capable of enhancing entryways, living rooms, bedrooms, or formal spaces thanks to its balanced proportions and sophisticated combination of gold and black. Dimensions: 95 x 71 cm
