Evoking the elegance of the Louis Philippe era, the French mirror presents a graceful union of form and history. The arched frame, embellished with delicate beaded trim, envelops a flat mirror plate crowned by a scrolled foliate crest. A later gilt-painted finish lends the piece a warm, aged patina, enhancing its antique charm. The mirror plate bears a delicate scratch, a visible narrative of its past and an integral part of its unique character. Some minor loss to the gesso on frame. A statement piece that brings a touch of French sophistication to any interior.
