Striking late 19th century French mirror, dating to circa 1880, featuring a giltwood frame with applied foliate and rosette decoration and an inset border of green églomisé (reverse-painted) glass. The mirror is richly detailed with classical neoclassical motifs, including stylized leaf swags and floral medallions, set against a warm gilt surround.
The mirror retains its original beveled glass plate, framed by the distinctive green églomisé inner border, a highly decorative and desirable feature associated with fine French mirrors of the period. The back shows period construction with original wood backing and early fastening methods, consistent with 19th century French manufacture.
An elegant and visually impactful mirror, ideal for use above a mantel, console, or as a statement wall piece in both traditional and eclectic interiors.

The giltwood frame shows surface wear, rubbing, small losses, and areas of patina typical for a circa 1880 mirror. The églomisé glass border shows expected age-related variation, with areas of silvering loss and tonal change that enhance its antique character. The mirror plate displays light foxing and spotting, consistent with age. Backing is intact and stable. Overall presentation is strong and authentic. less
