This rectangular French Napoleon III period mirror (circa 1960) exemplifies Second Empire elegance and opulence with its carved and gilded wooden frame lavishly adorned with intricate Rococo-inspired floral and scroll motifs.
The hand-carved details of cascading Flowers, acanthus leaves, and sinuous C-scrolls reflect the mirror’s Rococo influence, showcasing exquisite 19th century craftsmanship. All these ornate elements are highlighted by an original gilded finish that has gracefully aged to a warm, mellow patina.
Over the decades, time has conferred a beautifully worn character to the piece: subtle cracks in the underlying gesso, areas of gently rubbed gilding, and a softened luster on the gold surface all attest to its well over a century of history – wear commensurate with its age, which only enhances its authentic charm.
Standing at over a meter tall, this impressive mirror is grand in scale and can either be leaned stylishly against a wall or hung securely as a dramatic accent, serving as a striking focal point and adding both light and depth to any room. Its decorative elegance and superb 19th century craftsmanship make it a truly timeless statement piece.
This mirror seamlessly bridges classic and contemporary decor styles – equally at home in a traditional French salon or bringing a touch of historic grandeur to an eclectic modern
