This elegant Louis Philippe mirror dates to the mid-19th century and is a fine example of French craftsmanship from the period. The frame features the classic rounded top typical of the Louis-Philippe style, and is made of carved wood with its original gilt finish. The gilding shows a beautiful aged patina, with subtle wear and craquelure that highlight the mirror’s authenticity and antique charm.

The frame is enriched with a delicate beaded inner border, adding a refined touch without overpowering the clean, understated lines that define the Louis Philippe aesthetic. The mercury glass is original and displays light, scattered foxing — a desirable characteristic that gives the mirror depth and character.

The back of the mirror retains its original wooden panels, complete with traces of antique wallpaper, offering further evidence of its age. This piece would make a distinguished addition above a mantel, in an entryway, or as part of a decorative wall ensemble. Its timeless design and authentic materials make it a versatile and valuable accent for both traditional and eclectic interiors.
