Antique Louis XIV round mirror in wooden cherub frame - small 6¼"

This charming petit round Louis XIV mirror from the eighteenth century features a lovely carved wooden frame. The frame features little angel cherubs in a classic Louis XIV manner. This would be a terrific addition to a collection of mirrors on a gallery wall or bedroom to add a touch of French history and artisan craft to your walls.

Note: Mirrors have been photographed facing fabric, a technique that reveals any age spots in the glass. In some cases, this may create the appearance of an empty frame, but each mirror is complete except where explicitly stated.

This mirror contains its original mercury glass which sparkles beautifully in the light. The technique of making mercury glass mirrors was retired in the early 1900s. The mercury is fixed behind the glass in a solidified, non harmful state.

Condition and wear consistent with age and use.
