A charming Louis Philippe style gilt wood overmantle mirror, its burnished frame intricately etched with an intertwining design of ivy leaves and its inner rim edged with a classic ‘string of pearls’ motif. The original gilt finish of the frame is nicely worn, giving it great character. 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 1830
