The sides of the frame are adorned with finely carved urns, foliate scrolls, and floral motifs, supporting an entablature-style crest and base. The upper frieze is decorated with classical ornament and stylized rosettes, while the lower apron displays a central floral medallion flanked by scrolling foliage. Subtle traces of aged blue-green and earth-toned polychrome beneath the gilding add depth and visual interest, lending the mirror a layered, timeworn elegance.
This mirror is highly versatile and is ideal as a statement wall mirror, an over-mantel or console mirror, or a sophisticated accent in classical, transitional, or European-inspired interiors. It can also be used as a focal point in a bedroom or dining room, enhancing light and architectural interest. See less
