19th C Louis Philippe mirror with ornate rose crest

Antique French 19th century Louis Philippe style gold gilt mirror with a beautiful ornate flower and rose shaped crest. This antique French gold gilt mirror has the typical rounded upper corners that make it a Louis Philippe mirror. The mirror has its original mirror plate and wooden back cladding. The frame features intricate etchings of flowers and leaves. The gold leaf gilding shows some slight red bole through the gilding, giving the gold colour a warm touch. The mirror frame is structurally healthy and the glass is still in a very good condition. The mirror and the back are authentic and original and the mirror is old. It shows some lovely tiny grey spots. The antique mirror has slight imperfections caused by wear and age, but is in a general very fine state. A section of the inner string of pearls on the upper left side has been previously restored somewhat roughly, but it remains unobtrusive. Note: The stripe visible in the glass is from the board used during photography—it is not part of the mirror glass! Please keep in mind that in many cases we sell vintage and antique pieces. None of these pieces should be considered new or in perfect condition. All of our antique and vintage products show the rich beauty and history of their life with the knocks and bumps of many years of use. We restore our pieces so they will be clean and in a good working condition. However we try to minimise restoration to keep every piece as original as possible. The physical object can differ slightly in colour from the object as presented online. We have made every effort to display colours accurately, but cannot guarantee that the pictures accurately reflect the colour of those goods in real life.
