Hand-carved circa 1880, at the end of the period of Napoleon III, this giltwood mirror has impressive carvings. The rectangular mirror is surrounded by several motifs, such as beading and an egg and foliate dart. The magnificent crest is a floral and foliate display featuring flowering vines, curled leaves, and a segmented leaf.
CONDITION: Good antique condition. Minor nicks and losses. Some areas have losses of gilding, revealing traces of red bole, which is a desirable appearance. Old restoration work to the frame, coupled with more recent gilding touchups. Boards have been installed along the back for transportation purposes, but they can be removed for the final install.
