The thick frame with a discrete engraved floral embellishment is further dressed with beads motif around the glass, and dressed with decorative acanthus leaves in the bottom corners. The large Louis XV mirror is in excellent condition with the original mercury glass, wood backing, and adorns the original rich gold leaf finish.
