At 80 inches high by 55 inches wide, its sweeping cartouche form and lavish scrollwork create a powerful focal point. The gilded surface is finished in a two-tone treatment, giving the carving richness and dimension that shift beautifully with the light.

Carved from a single, uninterrupted block of timber, the frame is as much a sculptural achievement as it is a functional mirror. With its scale, artistry, and radiant surface, this work transcends utility to become the centerpiece of any interior.

In very good antique condition, with evidence of a handful of professional repairs and thoughtful restorations to the giltwood frame (including beneath the mirror at the center bottom, the bottom left scroll, a scroll at the upper left, and a scroll near the lower right corner). The mirrored surface shows no cracks, scratches, or chips, and retains its clarity. The piece as a whole maintains its original finish and presents beautifully for its age.

Please note: The mirror is intact within the frame, as in the photos at beginning of the list. However, some photos have been digitally altered - the mirror and images within the mirror reflection have been removed for the image. See less
