French 19th Century Gold Gilt Louis Philippe Mirror

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
Dimensions: 61 ⅞” H x 34 ¼” W x 6” D

An impressive Louis Philippe gold gilt mirror with signature arched corners at the top, crested with an ornate floral “crown” of baroque flamboyance. The molding is traced with a subtle foliate design, enhanced by the red bole substrate coming through the gold gilt for tactile interest and dimension. Forming a kind of pediment atop the tall frame is the ornamental crest which uses the familiar imagery of rococo tastes (scrolling details, flora) to project abundance and luxury within the restrained sophistication of the Louis Philippe period. Traced by a narrow, beaded trim is the original mirror plate–barely touched by oxidized foxing–but glittering with an accumulation of crystals along the bottom edge. Please view the detailed images to more, and the current condition.
