Mid-19th Century Gilded Wood Mirror w/ Rippled Frame - 28" x 22"

This late 19th-century French mirror features a distinctive gilded wood frame with a beautifully rippled design, adding texture and depth to its elegant simplicity. The repeating wave-like pattern creates a play of light and shadow, enhancing its visual depth and drawing attention to its unique design. The rich, gold finish exudes sophistication, making it a striking focal point for any room. Over time, the gilding has developed a charming aged patina, further emphasizing its antique character. 

Such mirrors were popular in the late 19th century, reflecting the opulence and craftsmanship of the period. The gilded wood technique highlights the craftsmanship of the time, creating luxurious pieces favored in upper-class homes. This particular style may have been influenced by Baroque or Rococo aesthetics, which valued intricate details and ornate embellishments.

Incorporating this mirror into your décor brings both functionality and style. It would make a stunning addition above a mantelpiece in a living room or serve as a statement piece in an entryway. With its original mirror glass remaining exceptionally clear, it is also ideal for use in a bathroom or powder room.

Condition and patina consistent with age.
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.
