Large Belle Époque period carved wood wall mirror

Offered by: Mayfair Gallery

Description
Large Belle Époque period carved wood wall mirror
French, late 19th Century
Height 166cm, width 122cm, depth 22cm

This fine Belle Epoque mirror is crafted from ebonised wood in a decadent manner. The oval mirror features an ornate frame: the frame itself is encompassed by twin branches laden with leaves, with the branches tided at the bottom by a ribbon. A pair of love birds perch at the bottom, while two putti play on the mirror’s crown; a third putto stands on the right-hand branch. The wood carving is exceptional, and the trompe l’oeil effect is marvellous.
