Large mirror with a molded and carved wooden frame, decorated with small flowers and rocaille motifs. The openwork pediment features a large floral shell, acanthus leaves, and crosshatching. The uprights are adorned with swags of flowers and foliate crescents.
The frame is decorated with friezes of gadroons and volutes. The whole rests on feet decorated with gadroons and shells.
Original mercury glass (minor wear spots), original parquet backing. Beautiful gold leaf gilding. This mirror is in perfect condition; it has been cleaned in our workshop, and its proportions, the quality of the gilding, and the absence of any missing pieces make it a rare and exceptionally fine piece.
Late 18th/early 19th century.
