This gorgeous antique mirror dates back to France, circa 1880, and is crowned with a beautifully ornate crest in the shape of a vase with delicate flowers and foliage.

The gold gilt frame is structurally sound, with a classic "string of pearls" motif accentuating the inner rim for an elegant touch. Subtle hints of red bole peek through the gold leaf gilding, lending a warm depth to its rich golden hue and flower and leaf etchings. Retaining its original mirror plate and wooden back cladding, the glass remains in a wonderful, clear condition, showing only some tiny weathered spots that add to its charm.
