a truly magnificent and rare statement piece, this grand antique gold gilt mirror dates from the 1840s and showcases exquisite maritime rope detailing that immediately captures the eye. The lavish rope-effect frame, masterfully gilded in rich gold leaf, evokes a sense of nautical heritage while remaining thoroughly opulent and timeless in design. The frame is crafted from wood and finished with gesso for a classic, sculptural feel. Its frame displays a gorgeous aged patina, adding to the charm and authenticity expected of a true antique. This is an antique mirror of exceptional quality — very large, very heavy, and crafted with fine materials and attention to detail. A true statement piece with timeless character.

its vast proportions and commanding presence make it the perfect overmantle mirror, designed to elevate the elegance of any space. Whether placed above a fireplace or as a central feature in a hallway or dining area, this mirror adds a bold yet graceful touch. The refined craftsmanship, classical lines, and aged patina blend seamlessly into both period properties and sophisticated contemporary interiors.

there is some slight foxing to the mirror plate, which only adds to its authenticity and charm. This light ageing is typical of original antique mirrors and does not affect the clarity or use of the mirror in any way. A true collector’s piece, it has been beautifully preserved, with characterful signs of its history that enhance its decorative appeal. See less
