Each mirror features a tall rectangular frame with a gently arched opening, articulated by molded and beaded detailing that emphasizes symmetry and classical order.
At the crest of each frame, a sculptural giltwood medallion in the form of a circular wheel anchors the composition, from which radiating gilded rays extend horizontally, creating a striking neoclassical focal point inspired by 18th-century decorative vocabulary. The surfaces retain a layered painted finish in muted gray-blue tones with areas of intentional wear and exposed undertones, offering depth, texture, and an authentic antique patina.
The mirrors are fitted with reflective glass and retain their original wood backs, with wear consistent with age and use. Substantial in scale yet visually refined, this antique pair is well suited for flanking a fireplace, anchoring a dining room wall, or installed symmetrically in a living room or entry, where their architectural character and restrained palette complement both traditional and transitional interiors. The wall decor is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use.
