Small French Louis XVI wedding mirror with basket and pendants.
Love, baubles, and a basket full of promises. If Cupid were a decorator, "wedding" mirrors would be his pièce de résistance. Discover this charming French trumeau mirror in Louis XVI style, once intended to celebrate a marriage — and still dazzling with its original romantic charm. Gilded wood, of course, with a delicately carved basket frieze (overflowing with love and abundance), and those side baubles that add just the right amount of theatricality. The neoclassical details — laurel leaves for victory and eternity, a pearl frieze for purity — read like a love letter carved in wood. The frame has aged beautifully, with small imperfections that add depth, like smile lines on a grand lady. The glass remains clear and sharp — no cloudiness, just a few spots and plenty of character. The frieze has experienced some sorrow — but it has been carefully restored and now wears its past like a badge of honor. (See the photo of the back). Whether you're furnishing a Parisian boudoir or giving your entryway a starring role, this mirror will always enhance your space. Note: the visible band in the glass comes from the board used during photography — it is not part of the mirror!.
