Louis XV Giltwood Mirror
SKU
MI4136138
A striking boldly carved French C18th Louis XV giltwood mirror.
The deeply bevelled rectangular mercury plate lightly foxed, surrounded with a scalloped gilded slip, with further mirrored border plates within acanthus leaf scrolls. The exuberantly carved cresting centred with a large classical urn, surmounted by C-scrolls, palm fronds and swags of trailing husks, on mirrored panels.
Chips and losses throughout the gilding, creating a wonderful finish on this highly decorative mirror. With some minor restoration, commensurate with age.
