19th Century Large Giltwood Bevelled Rococo Mirror
$8.180,00
This magnificent French mirror is a superb example of 19th-century craftsmanship, combining grandeur, elegance, and delicate ornamentation. Crafted from wood and stucco and entirely gilded, this impressive piece captures the opulence of the Louis XV style with its richly detailed carvings and majestic presence.
The frame is adorned with intricate rocaille motifs, featuring swirling acanthus leaves, delicate floral elements, and organic curves typical of the Rococo period. The top is crowned by an exceptional openwork crest, exuberantly carved and beautifully executed, creating a dramatic focal point that draws the eye upward. Along the perimeter of the frame runs a charming row of beaded detailing, lending further refinement and texture to the mirror’s overall composition.
The mirror retains its original mercury glass, which displays the natural aging and shimmering patina highly sought after by collectors, enhancing the authenticity and historical character of the piece. The glass is bevelled, adding an additional touch of sophistication and beautifully catching the light along its edges. The back is paneled with aged wood, attesting to its period origins and traditional construction techniques.
With its generous dimensions, biseled edges, and striking decorative presence, this mirror would make an exceptional addition to an elegant living room, a sophisticated hallway, or even as a dramatic centerpiece above a mantelpiece. Whether placed in a classic interior or as a statement contrast in a more contemporary setting, this antique mirror offers timeless beauty and an air of grandeur that only true antiques can provide.
