AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Old mirror with a gilded wooden frame

Beautiful antique rectangular mirror, featuring an elegant carved and gilded wooden frame. The frame consists of several successive moldings, adorned with a fine pearl frieze along the inner and outer perimeters, giving the whole a refined and decorative appearance.

The upper part with broadly rounded angles provides a harmonious and elegant silhouette. The gilding, in patinated gold tone, displays different nuances and signs of wear that attest to the piece's age and history. The ensemble has the characteristic charm of decorative antique mirrors, easily integrating into a classic, vintage, or contemporary interior.

The back retains its traditional mounting with a wooden panel and several old fixing elements. The structure and the frame show signs of use, small chips, scuffs, and wear to the gilding, especially visible on the moldings and corners. The mirror itself shows a few surface marks and imperfections related to its age and use, visible in the photographs.

The piece can probably be dated to the late 19th or early 20th century, without a precise attribution, and constitutes a beautiful decorative element for an entryway, a bedroom, a living room, or a shop.

- Old carved and gilded wooden frame
- Beautiful sequence of decorative moldings

- Old gilding with patina and signs of use
- Wooden back with an old mounting system
- Old mirror showing some marks, scratches, and surface imperfections
- Some small chips and signs of wear on the frame

Good overall condition considering the age and antiquity of the piece.
