Description from the seller
Antique French oval mirror, from the Napoleonic III era (mid-19th century).
Crafted in carved wood and gilded with gold leaf, an example of extraordinary artisanal craftsmanship and refined decorative taste.
The oval frame, magnificently carved, features rich floral and phytomorphic motifs, culminating at the top in a splendid crest decorated with a basket of flowers, scrollwork, and two graceful winged putti holding garlands of roses.
The carvings, deep and precise, reveal a meticulous workmanship typical of the finest French workshops of the nineteenth century.
The gilded wood features a warm and distinctive patina that enhances the sculptural details and gives the piece an authentic and timeless charm.
The mirror, from the same period, shows a slight oxidation that testifies to its antiquity and enriches its character.
This important piece of furniture perfectly embodies the Napoleonic III style, with its Rocaille and Baroque influences, and it is magnificently suited as a showpiece in entrances, drawing rooms, or prestigious bedrooms.
