Description from the seller
Neoclassical Wall Mirror in Ebonized and Gilt Wood - Greek Key Decoration - Empire Style
Description:
Up for auction is a charming Neoclassical-style wall mirror, presumably dating from the mid-20th century, that evokes the elegance of the Empire style.
Main Features:
Design: The mirror has a slender rectangular frame with a distinctive shaped and carved crest at the top.
Decoration: The frame is decorated with a refined, continuous raised Greek key (meander) motif, highlighted by a gilt finish applied over the ebonized surface (black/dark brown). The crest is embellished with elegant stylized foliage carvings, also gilded.
Finish: The contrast between the dark ebonized base and the aged gilding gives the mirror a sophisticated, period appearance.
Condition: The mirror is in fair vintage condition. The frame has an attractive patina and minor signs of age consistent with its age, which authenticate its character (small areas of wear to the gilding and ebonized finish). The mirror itself is intact. A small original hanging hook is present on the back.
