A supremely elegant gilt and carved wood Louis Philippe mirror, featuring a carved coquille crest, flanked by swathes of extravagant foliage and flowers. Typically rectangular, with rounded top corners and squared off bottom corners, Louis Philippe mirrors, with their clean lines and versatile shape, are a popular choice in traditional or contemporary home settings. There are some minor imperfections and small areas of damage to the frame, as would be expected with a piece of this age and usage, but this does not in any way detract from its charm.

Circa 1840
