About the Item
This French Louis XVI revival giltwood mirror from circa 1920 presents a refined, neoclassical aesthetic anchored by a tall, narrow silhouette ideal for architectural accenting. The frame is carved in a clean rectangular profile painted in a pale, stone-toned finish, which sets up a strong contrast with the gilt inner molding. The gilded bead surround gives the mirror plate a precise, formal edge, while the crest carries the visual weight: an applied giltwood wreath with crisp foliage carving and a tied bow at the center. The carving is well-defined and consistent with early 20th-century atelier work—more delicate than 19th-century examples but still hand-cut and convincingly modeled.
Proportions make this a versatile piece. Its height draws the eye upward, making it suitable for narrow entries, dressing areas, or as a vertical counterpoint in a salon or bedroom. Though tall, the frame remains light and shallow in depth, making wall placement straightforward. The mirror plate is a later replacement, clean and clear, offering practical reflectivity without distracting age-related bloom. This is a useful decorative mirror with classical French presence, sized for both traditional interiors and contemporary rooms needing a vertical gilt accent.
