About the Item
This French giltwood mirror, dating to circa 1940, showcases the refined symmetry and ornamentation typical of the Louis XVI style. Crowned with a delicately carved lyre surrounded by laurel leaves and scrolls, the crest evokes classical themes of harmony, victory, and artistic inspiration. The frame itself is accented with beaded inner molding and crosshatched motifs, while flanking drapery-style carvings and rosette-tipped volutes enhance its decorative richness.
Finished in a luminous gold tone with subtle patina, the mirror maintains a clean and elegant presence. The carved details remain crisp and well defined, suggesting quality midcentury craftsmanship inspired by 18th-century prototypes. The back panel has been painted and fitted with a new hanging wire for secure wall mounting.
Measuring 18 inches wide by 1.5 inches deep and 31.5 inches high, this mirror is well suited for placement above a console, vanity, or in a hallway. With its lyrical crest and graceful form, it offers a sophisticated neoclassical accent that bridges antique tradition and 20th-century interpretation.
