About the Item

This exceptional early 18th century French Louis XIV giltwood mirror is a rare and important example of regal Baroque craftsmanship.

The crowning element is particularly striking, showcasing two finely carved birds flanking a central crest with floral urn and drapery details—an uncommon and highly desirable feature that enhances its rarity and collector’s appeal. The gilt surface has developed a beautiful patina over centuries, highlighting its authentic age and historical significance. Perfectly proportioned, this mirror serves as both a functional piece and a statement of French royal design, ideal for display in a grand entryway, dining room, or above a mantel. Collectors and interior designers will recognize this as a museum-quality Louis XIV period artifact, offering a glimpse into the luxurious tastes of early 18th century France. A truly rare and important giltwood mirror, this piece exemplifies the refinement, artistry, and enduring legacy of French Louis XIV decorative arts.
