Large Antique Gilt Frame Mirror - Original Aged Glass
A striking antique French giltwood mirror, retaining its original mercury glass, beautifully and naturally distressed with soft foxing, clouding and time-worn markings that give it real depth and character.
The substantial frame is richly decorated with raised rococo-style ornamentation, featuring scrolling foliage, floral cartouches and shell-like detailing, applied over a moulded giltwood base. The gilding has aged to a wonderfully mellow tone, with areas of rubbed back gold leaf revealing the warmth and texture beneath.
The mirror is finished with column-style corner blocks and a decorative inner slip, adding architectural weight and refinement. It retains its original back board, a detail rarely found and a testament to its authenticity and age.
An exceptional statement piece, perfect above a mantelpiece, console or as a dramatic focal point in a hallway, bedroom or living space.
