French Louis Philippe mirrors, such as this pair of gold leaf wall mirrors with geometric motifs from the 1900s, are always in high demand; they are highly versatile pieces that mesh well with just about any interior design style. The fact that these are a pair makes them extra sought-after, as they can be placed in the same room and even on the same wall.
Subtle embellishments, in this case, a central quarter-round molding adorned with an alternating pattern of X’s and partial roundels, are not overpowering, allowing the timeless shape and structure of the mirrors to hold prominence. These Louis Philippe mirrors have the traditional curved upper corners that soften the rectangular-shaped glass. A thin border of beading encompasses each mirrored section, but the rest of the moldings are without any embellishments. Our pair of giltwood Louis Philippe mirrors would look exceptional when hung over a pair of consoles or flanking a large item, such as a fireplace mantel or couch.
CONDITION: Very good condition. Minor nicks and rubs. Not rigged for hanging.
