18th Century French Louis XVI Giltwood Mirror with Cherub Medallion
-
Description
A charming late 18th century Louis XVI giltwood mirror, richly carved and crowned with an exquisite floral garland and a central oval medallion featuring a delicately painted cherub. The gilded frame is adorned with classical neoclassical motifs, laurel leaves, pinecones, and ribbon scrolls, emblematic of the Louis XVI period’s refined aesthetic. The original mercury glass displays a beautiful, time-softened reflection, while the back shows hand-hewn wood panels and aged patina consistent with the mirror’s era. This piece brings a sense of poetic romance and noble elegance to any space, equally striking above a console, mantel, or in a curated gallery wall. An authentic antique that speaks to the craftsmanship and delicate artistry of 18th century France.
This is an antique and having been around for a long time, it will show signs of wear. Antique pieces have very much sought-after character and associated flaws. Please review photos for condition & contact us with questions! -
