French Art Deco Oval gilded Mirror in Carved Wood, ca. 1920

France / 1920 / Oval Mirror / wood / Art Deco / Belle Époque. A refined oval wall mirror from France, dating to the early Art Deco period, circa 1920. Crafted from carved wood, the frame features a harmonious blend of stylized symmetry and organic detailing, hallmarks of the movement’s transition from late Belle Époque ornamentation to modernist clarity. The frame’s warm patina and sculptural leaf motifs evoke a quiet elegance, while the mirror plate and woodwork bear subtle signs of age and use, adding authenticity and character. These traces, light surface wear, minor abrasions, and gentle fading, underscore the mirror’s century-long journey and enhance its decorative appeal. Perfect for interiors seeking understated glamour, this piece offers a poetic nod to French craftsmanship and the decorative arts of the interwar years.
