About the Item
A Very Good Quality Mid 19th Century French Giltwood And Gesso Rectangular Overmantle Mirror, Having Sectioned Marginal Frame With Superbly Elegant Foliate And Scrolling Carved Decoration Throughout, Enclosing Apparently Original Mirror Plates, Surmounted By Arched Top With Superbly Carved Shell.
Although relatively typical of a French 19th century overmantle mirror in terms of overall design this particular example has many of its own outstanding features and is of very good quality indeed. It also has great presence and would really enhance absolutely any room whatsoever.
Some of those features touched on above include the excellent carved decoration which has much more depth and presence than the majority we have seen, including the wonderful shell.
It also retains what appear to be its original mirror plates, they are certainly very old and have a small amount of of silvering and pitting as one would expect. We cannot guarantee they are original however.
The gilding itself is great, retaining a lovely rich lustre and tone and despite areas of light touching up and restoration, clearly it has never been entirely regilded which is also nice.
This mirror is in great overall condition with the expected areas of repair, replacement and restoration which would normally be found on a carved frame of this age. It has been inspected and attended to by our highly skilled, trained antique furniture restorers and ready for immediate placement straight into the home.
