Antique gilded carved mirror - antique glass - vintage - Louis XVI

There are mirrors that reflect an interior. And there are those that give it character. With its 55 × 45 cm size, its delicately carved wooden frame inspired by Louis XVI, and its subtly patinated antique gilding, it possesses the elegance of objects that have lived. The reliefs of the frame beautifully catch the light, and the patina reveals small variations that make each detail unique. No uniform factory gilding. No false antiquing. Here, time has done its work, far from standardised objects. And above all, there is its original antique glass. The reflection is less cold than a contemporary mirror. It is warm, slightly nuanced, with those small irregularities that give all the charm of antique mercury mirrors. A lively surface rich in history. It is this blend of the finesse of the Louis XVI-inspired decor, the patinated gilding, and this old glass that gives it its character. 🕰️ First half of the 20th century, probably around 1920–1940. ✨ Carved and gilded wooden frame, Louis XVI style, mouldings and ornaments. An antique, authentic, and patinated piece with its old glass. A beauty for those who prefer objects that have traversed the decades to decorations without history ✨ One can easily imagine it in a Parisian, Haussmannian decor, a Bordeaux house, or with chic country accents. Some traces and irregularities related to age, visible in the photos.
