AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antique French oval gilded frame (Napoleon III)

Elegant antique French oval mirror from the Napoleon III period (circa 1850–1880), crafted in richly gilded wood/composite. The mirror is designed in the Louis XV revival style, recognizable by its refined Rococo ornamentation with floral motifs, acanthus leaves, and graceful curls.

The list is equipped with a decorative crest (fronton) at the top and a framing of beveled mirror plates (edge plates) around a central oval field. This construction and detailing are typical of high-quality French mirrors from the 19th century.

The warm original gilding gives the piece a luxurious and classic appearance. A characterful and decorative object that fits well in a classic interior or creates a stylish contrast in a more modern setting.
