About the Item

This exceptional three-panel mirror is a striking example of late 19th-century French craftsmanship in the Louis XV style, richly decorated with scrolling acanthus leaves, floral garlands, and an elaborate central crest. The frame is carved in deep relief and finished in a beautifully aged gilt that immediately draws the eye. With its sweeping silhouette and refined ornamentation, it captures the grandeur and theatricality that defined the Rococo revival period. The central beveled mirror is flanked on either side by finely detailed prints depicting scenes from the life of Napoleon Bonaparte, each set within its own miniature gilt frame. These images introduce a historic narrative element to the piece, blending the elegance of Louis XV ornamentation with the patriotic zeal of the French Empire era. Together, the mirror and images create a commanding architectural presence suitable for an entry hall, formal living room, or above a mantel. The mirror is in nice antique condition, showing age-appropriate wear to the gilding and small areas of expected surface loss to the decorative elements, all consistent with a piece of its age and history. The engravings and glass present well, and the overall structure is solid. An exceptional and rare decorative object, it offers both beauty and historical interest and serves as a true statement piece for the discerning collector. 18h x 35w x 4d
