Antique Luigi XV style wooden mirror with Mecca gilding, dating to 1850–1900, external dimensions 119 cm high by 65 cm wide, in good condition with minor signs of wear.
Description from the seller
Antique mirror in Louis XV style – Early 20th century
Refined Louis XV-style dressing mirror dating from the early 1900s, made of finely carved wood and gilded in mecca. The piece features rich decoration of volutes, acanthus leaves, shells, and rocaille motifs, typical of the French Rococo taste.
The crest is elaborated with a central, shaped and pierced cartouche, flanked by symmetrical relief-sculpted elements that give great movement and lightness to the whole. The frame, sinuous and lively, wraps around the original mirror (bearing natural signs of age), creating an elegant play of curves and counter-curves.
The gilding, with its original patina, shows a pleasant wear that enhances the piece's authenticity, highlighting the engravings and the artisanal craftsmanship.
A mirror of great decorative value, ideal as a furnishing element for classic interiors, entrances, living rooms, or bedrooms, capable of enriching the space with a strong dramatic impact.
