Of unusual and eye-catching serpentine form, the frame is richly carved throughout with floral and foliate motifs, including roses, leaves, and a finely detailed bottom cartouche. The arched crest features a decorative wreath over crossed quiver and torch elements, adding a refined neoclassical touch to the otherwise Louis XV style silhouette.
The original mercury glass shows light age and subtle foxing, enhancing the authentic character of the piece. The carved wood frame retains its original gilt finish with a warm, aged patina and minor wear consistent with age and use. The distinctive, elongated shape makes it an ideal statement piece for a powder room, over a mantel, or over a piece of furniture.
The antique mirror is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorns a rich, timeworn gilt patina.
