Wall mirror - Wood, Glass

Wall mirror in carved and gilded wood - 19th century, Rococo style.

Vertical-format mirror, with a cut and pierced frame, profusely ornamented with volutes, acanthus leaves and floral motifs. The upper crest develops into a composition of foliage and scrolls, flanked by small flowers, extending laterally by vegetal pendants.

The inner frame, with a molded profile and sinuous contour, features a pearl-like surround that follows the beveled glass. The lower decoration revisits the acanthus and volute motifs, giving balance to the composition.

The gilding presents warm tones and areas of wear that accentuate the relief of the ornamentation.
