Description from the seller
Pair of Louis XVI Gilt-Surmounted Mirrors, Fine Late 18th Century
Elegant pair of Louis XVI gilt mirrors dating from the late 18th century, crafted in finely carved and gilded wood. The frames feature a flowing, harmonious line, enriched with rich ornamental motifs including volutes, vegetal elements, and a sculpted pediment that gives great elegance to the whole. The mirrors preserve the old original mercury-coated plates, characterized by natural oxidation and evident signs of age that attest to their authenticity and period charm. On the back is the original wooden structure with antique fixing systems. The gilding shows the typical patina of time with light wear and small losses consistent with the object's age, without compromising its decorative value. A refined pair of mirrors, ideal for furnishing classical interiors, historic homes, or antique collections.
