Description

This large French mirror is a most unusual and very beautiful piece with a gorgeous colour to the rubbed back gilding.

The mirror frame has its original water gilded finish with a fine central crest and scrolling leaf moulded detail and is beautifully rubbed showing warm red oxide glowing through the gilt. The frame is a rare and unusual design with an almost square shape and curved corners all round the piece. The original mercury plate has aged most attractively and has a lovely deep hue, yet amazingly has no marks or tarnishing.

Altogether this makes a very nice original example with great charm.
This is an early mirror from around 1840 and is a good size measuring 103 cms wide by 137 cms high. (to top of crest).
