Pretty Gilded Louis XV Parclose Mirror w/ Openwork Pediment - 35½" x 22"

This exquisite 18th-century Louis XV parclose mirror features a richly gilded frame and an elegant asymmetrical openwork pediment. The mirror is made in two parts, with the pediment fitting into two discreet holes atop the frame. The glass is beautifully aged, showcasing heavy foxing that enhances its antique charm. Parclose mirrors, like this one, are defined by their divided sections of glass, often framed by ornate gilding or moldings, adding layers of decorative detail.

This mirror’s intricate shell and foliate carvings and the delicately carved pediment make it a striking decorative element. The luxurious gilding, combined with the patina of time, gives the mirror a stately presence. Perfect for a formal living room or bedroom, it adds a sense of grandeur to any space. The mirror’s delicate proportions and detailed craftsmanship also allow it to be featured in smaller areas like an entryway or bedroom, creating a focal point that brings a touch of regal French elegance into your home.
