Dating from the nineteenth century, a beautiful, large Louis Philippe mirror with a gilt and silver painted frame featuring large repeating foliage decorations evocative of olive leaves. A lovely addition to reflect light and French charm in a space. Note the glass is mercury and exhibits some foxing consistent with age and use. The wood paneling on the back is original.
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 patina consistent with age.
