Large pair of 19th century gilded wood mirrors in bamboo and silk style

This elegant pair of gilded mirrors dates from the second half of the 19th century, napoleon III era, circa 1870. Around each large rectangular mirror plate is a highly detailed carved faux bamboo giltwood frame, with a superb patina, mounted on a solid oak structure. Its neoclassical style is strongly inspired by the chinoiserie and japonism very fashionable under napoleon III. The mirror frame has been reupholstered with a jacquard fabric from métaphores, silk decorated with flowers, roses, poppies and motley foliage composing a delicate decor. The mirrors have all been replaced as one was missing when the parts were purchased. They have both been completely restored, with a complete cleaning and some re-gilding with gold leaf. A complete restoration file with photos is available on request. The pair of maison jansen poufs, shown in a few photos, and reupholstered with the same fabric, are also for sale and available.
