The top cresting (pediment) features ornate gold-leaf or gilt-gesso details with a central scalloped Rococo shell motif. At the top of each side is a carved lion's head with its mouth open. Below the lion's head is a decorative drop embellishment, which transitions into a vertical string of hanging gold beads. A thin, decorative horizontal wooden strip with a gold-beaded pattern runs across the mirror glass, dividing it into sections. The bottom features an antique carved architectural element with a detailed acanthus leaf motif and gold finish on both sides. I love the old finish and detail of the lion carvings. See less
