Description
A fabulous gold gilt Louis Philippe mirror, with its iconic shaped frame. This 19th century French antique piece has remarkably intact gold gilt that is brilliant and lustrous. It has been finished with an etched cross-hatch design that provides some lovely detail to the frames. A detail of beaded pearls also graces the frame’s moulding. It trims the mirror’s pane of mercury glass. The antique glass has a clear reflection and some foxing. The frame shows some of the red clay foundation, known as bole, to which the gold leaf is affixed through a gilting proces. It is commonplace for gilt mirrors of this age to exhibit some of (and in many cases, an abundance of) this “French Red” as it is known.
