Mirror from 1950-1960 with a gold-toned frame of wood and composite, antique Louis XVI style from France, external size 24×19 cm and internal 20×14 cm, in good used condition with small signs of age and imperfections, featuring relief mouldings in the corners.
Description from the seller
It is a mirror that captures very well the spirit of the Louis XVI style reinterpreted in the 20th century, with that mix of classicism, light ornamental, and a hint of contained theatricality. The frame, gold-plated and worked with a soft patina, maintains the geometric elegance typical of the style: straight lines slightly curved on the sides, balanced proportions, and a presence that does not overwhelm, but frames with distinction.
In the corners, the molded reliefs provide the most characteristic touch: flowers, leaves, and scrolls that recall the Neoclassical ornamentation of the 18th century, but executed with the freer, more decorative hand of the 20th century. They are not overly busy; they function as accents that animate the structure and give it that air of a carefully crafted piece, intended for a refined interior.
The mirror preserves its charm even with the small marks of time, which add authenticity and place it in that category of objects that have accompanied several generations without losing their elegance. It is a mirror that could grace a hallway, a bedroom, or a living room, bringing light, a sense of space, and that classic wink that never goes out of style.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
