Description
A Beautiful 19th century French Louis Philippe antique mirror featuring a subtly decorative, beaded frame.
The mirror stands at approximately 110cm tall by 78cm in width and it would make a fantastic mantel mirror.
The frame has a large rectangular shape with gently rounded corners at the top giving a soft, elegant appearance, while the lower corners are squared off.
The frame structure is made of wood while the decorative molding and outer layer are made of gesso, which is essentially a type of plaster used in antique mirror making.
The frame is gold with copper red colours coming through in places.
The design is simple yet refined, characteristic of the Louis Philippe style, which emphasises understated luxury. This type of mirror would have been a stylish and functional addition to a 19th-century French home, reflecting the era's taste for classic and timeless designs.
The mirror is in good condition for its age although there is some small areas of damage to the gesso in a few places. This could be easily restored or just left as it doesn’t affect the overall look in my opinion. Please see photos for details of condition.
Due to the fragile nature I’m listing it as collection only but you’re welcome to arrange your own furniture courier at your own risk. Companies like Shiply will do reasonable quotes. I can bubble wrap.
Any questions please ask.
