Impressive French Regency style mirror made at the beginning of the 19th century in France, a time in which some of the styles of the French past were recovered. The French Regency refers to the period after the death of Louis XIV, between September 1, 1715 and February 15, 1723, during which King Louis XV was a minor and France was governed by the regent Philip of Orleans.

This exuberant mercury mirror features a rectangular shape surrounded by an exquisitely gilded frame with fine and highly ornate gold. The frame is not uniform in its width; It is expanded and elaborately decorated in the corners and particularly in the upper part, where a large ornate cape or finial is developed, which presents in its central area a cup of abundance with flowers that stands out from the silver background; framed by a multitude of rockeries that create a kind of ephemeral architecture. It is reminiscent of the imposing console or palatial wall mirrors of the 18th century.

with this exquisite mirror you will bring a refined and elegant style to any space and environment. They are mirrors highly sought after in the art market for their refinement and timeless aesthetics. Suitable in any environment, in a composition with more mirrors or as a single piece, with great presence and elegance.
