French 19th Century Louis Philippe Gilt Mantel Mirror

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
Dimensions: 68 ¾” H x 49” W x 2 ¼” D

A glorious Louis Philippe-style gilt mantel mirror with an ornate scallop shell and scrolled elements of baroque flamboyance at the crown between the signature arched corners. The enormous frame has tactile interest and dimension within the gold, enhanced by red bole substrate peeking through. Forming a pediment atop the tall frame is the ornamental crest which uses the familiar imagery of rococo tastes (scrolling details, flora, rocaille) to project abundance and luxury met with the restrained sophistication of the Louis Philippe taste. The original mirror plate is barely touched by oxidized foxing, traced by a narrow beaded trim. Please view the detailed images as they are essential to understanding the current condition of the antique.
