About the Item
This French giltwood mirror from circa 1920 offers a restrained, elegant profile that works well in both classical and transitional interiors. The frame is carved in a deep, stepped molding with a clean, linear geometry, then finished in a warm gilt surface that has mellowed with age. The gilding shows the subtle tonal variation typical of early 20th-century work—less formal than 19th-century gilding but still hand-applied and visually rich. The bevels of the molding add depth and give the piece a stronger architectural presence despite its narrow proportions.
Its tall, vertical format makes it practical in spaces where a full-length mirror won’t fit but some height is needed—hallways, dressing corners, between windows, or above a console. The frame has good structural integrity, the corners remain tight, and the backboards are original, giving it the right period feel. The mirror plate appears to be a later replacement: clear, bright, and more functional than antique glass while still suitable for decorative placement.
Overall, this is a useful French giltwood mirror with understated classical lines, sized for easy placement and visually warm enough to pair with antiques, modern pieces, or mixed interiors.
