Louis-philippe golden mirror 105 x 78 cm

This magnificent Louis-Philippe mirror deserves to be displayed in a more subdued and enhancing atmosphere; however, the photos reflect this superb model from around 1840. Gilded with gold leaf in our workshop, it features an old silvered glass slightly speckled with signs of use that attest to its age; the back has original fir planks, and a delicate frieze of flowers and leaves winds around the glass, bordered by two square fillets adjacent to a second frieze of ivy or climbing plants typical of a decor with romantic ornaments that were in vogue at that time. This mirror, of incredible elegance, has been subtly patinated to restore its original and warm appearance. On a mantelpiece (as originally intended), above a console or sideboard, it will grace the room of your choice with charm and personality. For reference, here are some key points to consider when purchasing a Louis-Philippe mirror: The nature and condition of the gilding (gold leaf, copper, or bronzing (false gilding applied with a brush that tarnishes quickly over time and significantly depreciates its value)) Its dimensions (with an elegant pediment that increases its price) The nature of the glass (mercury before 1870, old silvered or new).
