Description from the seller

Grand mirror of a trumeau in carved and gilded wood – Louis XVI style, 19th century
Very elegant trumeau mirror in carved and gilded wood, made in the Louis XVI taste and dating presumably to the 19th century.
This model stands out for its rich neoclassical decoration consisting of an openwork pediment adorned with laurel leaves, rosettes, crossed ribbons and a central sculpted medallion. The uprights are decorated with stylized leaves and the frame is outlined by a finely executed beaded frieze.
The traditional solid wood construction, visible at the back with its old boards joined, testifies to artisanal quality.
The old gilding presents a beautiful patina and natural wear that reinforce the authentic character of this piece. The glass appears old and shows some traces of time compatible with its age.
Dimensions
* Height: 100 cm
* Width: 43 cm
Condition
Good preservation for a 19th century object. Some wear to the gilding, light signs of use and small defects related to age. The mirror remains very decorative and immediately presentable. The photographs are part of the description.

Upon close inspection of the back and the quality of the sculpture, I think this mirror is more interesting than a simple 20th-century reproduction. It shows several indicators of manufacture from the mid- to late 19th century: old reverse assembly, rather fine sculpture, elegant proportions and wear consistent with gilding.
The glass is indeed original (or at least 19th century),

However, I noticed a detail that deserves verification: the motif carved in the central medallion is not a very common Louis XVI decoration. A clear photo of this medallion could help determine whether it is a particular emblem (monogram, heraldic symbol or decorative motif), which could make the mirror even more interesting. deserves verification: the motif carved in the central medallion is not a very common Louis XVI decoration.
