French 19th Century Gold Gilt Mirror

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
Dimensions: 25 ¼” H x 22 ⅛” W x 2 ¾” D

A stunning French 19th century gold gilt mirror with impressive carving techniques to illustrate the frame in foliate motifs. Resembling an Italianate style popular in the 18th century, each corner projects slightly outward from the rectangular shape, making room for delicate scrolling designs and leafy patterns to appear in subtle contrast to the matte gilt with craquelure patina. Surrounding the oval mirror plate is a thick border that is an amalgamation of several molding techniques: a cable twist, laurel leaves, foliate/acanthus, and beaded texture on the interior. Shown in vertical orientation, the frame could be mounted in either direction. One small, dark spot of foxing in the glass but no other evidence to confirm that it’s original to the piece. Be sure to view the detailed images to see more.
