An exceptional and highly decorative French giltwood mirror, dating to the circa 1790 era, featuring exquisite hand-carved detailing and a commanding architectural presence. This monumental mirror is richly adorned with intricate Rococo and late 18th-century Baroque influences, including elegant scrollwork, acanthus leaves, and beautifully layered ornamentation throughout.
At the crest, a finely sculpted cherub figure anchors the design, surrounded by symbolic “winds of time” carvings, lending the piece a romantic and timeless character. The deeply carved giltwood frame displays remarkable craftsmanship and depth, making this mirror as much a work of art as it is a functional object.
With its grand scale, this mirror is ideal for an entry hall, above a mantel, or as a dramatic focal point in a bedroom or formal living space. A rare French statement piece that brings Old World sophistication to both classic and curated eclectic interiors.
