About this Item

A Rococo style gilded parclose wall mirror, 19th century
with composite mirror plates enclosed within carved acanthus leaf and scroll design with foliate cresting, 75cm high, 80cm wide

Notes

The Rococo style, or late Baroque style, began c. 1730.

Rococo wall mirrors are characterized by their heavy, ornate frames which were sculpted in plaster and often gilded.

Derived from 'Rocaille', which was originally a method of decorating using concrete, pebbles and seashells, Rococo style uses natural forms like shells, floral and leaf motifs.
