The deeply carved rectangular frame is richly decorated with scrolling acanthus foliage, animated volutes, and a dramatic sculptural crest centered by a lush floral bouquet flanked by two finely modeled winged cherubs rendered in high relief. The carving displays excellent depth and craftsmanship, with expressive facial features, detailed wings, and fluid movement throughout the composition.
The mirror retains its original glass plate, showing authentic age-related foxing and light spotting consistent with its period, which enhances its antique character while remaining fully functional. The oak surface presents a warm and richly developed patina, highlighting the natural grain and quality of the wood. The original wood backing remains intact, and the mirror is ready for wall mounting.
A striking decorative statement, ideal for an entry, powder room, living room, or layered into a salon-style wall, this antique mirror offers strong architectural presence and classic French elegance. Excellent condition commensurate with age and use.
