19th Century English Baroque Gilt Floral Wall Mirror

PRESENTING A LOVELY 19 century English Baroque Gilt Floral Wall Mirror.

English, circa 1840.

In classic ‘Baroque’ style with scrolling acanthus and vines in very ornate design and detail. Made of giltwood, pine, oak and gesso.

Probably originally a frame for a painting, but mirror inserted instead.

Nice medium size, suitable for multiple uses and placement.

This is a high quality and rare, period mirror, in great condition for it’s age.

The mirror glass is a late 20C replacement, as unlike the frame, it does not have the signs of age with pithing to the mirror backing that one would expect with a period mirror. Also, the rear cardboard backing indicates a later replacement. This is not unusual, as these are functional pieces and the clarity of the mirror glass is important for daily use. Almost every period mirror has it’s glass replaced.

It is a ‘SUPER’ match for the Large/Monumental Early 19C English Baroque Floral Wall Mirror also in our Inventory and posted separately.
