About this Item

Louis XV style giltwood wall mirror, late 19th century
the shaped rectangular plate within a carved frame, surmounted by a prominent central crown cresting, flanked by acanthus leaves, the lower section carved with a shell motif
height: 109cm; width: 67cm

Notes

The heavy ornamentation of this mirror, with its scrolling acanthus leaves and shell motifs, suggests a strong Baroque or Rococo revival influence. Mirrors were often focal points in grand salons and drawing rooms, reflecting the light and enhancing the opulence of the space.
