Description

A beautifully executed Louis XV style French wall mirror, richly carved and finished in a warm, burnished and toned gilt. The oval frame is adorned with exuberant rococo detailing, including scrolling acanthus leaves, floral sprays and a central shell crest to the top and base—hallmarks of mid-18th century French design.

The gilding has a soft, mellowed tone with just the right degree of age and character, enhancing the depth of the carving. The mirror plate is in good clean condition and sits within a raised inner moulded border.

A decorative and elegant mirror of impressive presence, perfect for a drawing room, hallway or above a console.
