French 19th Century Louis Philippe Silver Gilt Mirror

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
Dimensions: 70 ½” H x 47 ¾” W x 3” D

A French, 19th century Louis Philippe mirror in a thick, antiqued silver frame texturized by dark burnishing and craquelure. Etched into the molding is a rather naïve fluted pattern interrupted by areas of wear that gives depth and authentic patina to the design. Look closely to see the creative efforts made over time to experiment with the metallic luster: painted edges along the outside in a golden yellow, faux burnished wisps of black on the rope twist carvings, and what appears to be flickers of gold underneath. The original mirror plate sparkles with a fine layer of crystals and foxing. This gorgeous mirror will be right at home in many decorating tastes and rooms, over a mantel, commode, or on the wall. Please view the detailed images as they are essential to understanding the current condition of the antique.
