About the Item
A magnificent late‑19th‑century French giltwood and gesso mirror in the Louis XIV Revival style, circa 1870–1890, standing nearly eight feet tall. The richly carved frame presents a pierced crest of scrolling acanthus and foliate motifs centered by a cartouche, above a divided mirror plate framed by rope‑carved borders and elaborate voluted corners.
The mirror’s monumental scale and architectural symmetry embody the grandeur and refinement of the Second Empire and early Third Republic, echoing the decorative language of Versailles and the royal ateliers of Paris. Comparable examples from Parisian ateliers such as Krieger and Beurdeley exemplify the same scale and lavish gilding found here. Executed in the manner of these celebrated makers, the design reflects their opulent craftsmanship and mastery of the Louis XIV Revival aesthetic.
A commanding statement piece that perfectly captures the spirit of the Baroque Revival, ideal for an entrance hall, salon, or other grand interior. Its presence, artistry, and height make it suitable for pairing with consoles or fireplaces in rooms of palatial proportions.
