French 19th Century Gold Gilt Louis Philippe Mirror
$5,200.00
SKU: 4843-5
Dimension: 61.88"H x 34.25"W x 6"D
Dimensions: 61 ⅞” H x 34 ¼” W x 6” D
An impressive Louis Philippe gold gilt mirror with signature arched corners at the top, crested with an ornate floral “crown” of baroque flamboyance. The molding is traced with a subtle foliate design, enhanced by the red bole substrate coming through the gold gilt for tactile interest and dimension. Forming a kind of pediment atop the tall frame is the ornamental crest which uses the familiar imagery of rococo tastes (scrolling details, flora) to project abundance and luxury within the restrained sophistication of the Louis Philippe period. Traced by a narrow, beaded trim is the original mirror plate–barely touched by oxidized foxing–but glittering with an accumulation of crystals along the bottom edge.

$5,500.0046.75"H x 78.50"W x 1.63"D
Dimensions: 46 ¾” H x 78 ½” W x 1 ⅝” D
A cheerful piece of history and architecture, this enormous Louis Philippe style mirror dating to the late 19th century was originally part of the decor in a French bistro. Arched corners round out the wide, rectangular form of the painted frame; as found, the likely gold gilt finish was covered in a wash of burnt orange paint more recently. Where the paint has chipped off to reveal the wood underneath one might notice a carved foliate pattern–typical of the Louis Philippe style–with other areas of patina that contribute to the overall artistic flair of the mirror. The original mirror plate is speckled with several constellations of foxing and dark oxidation that unifies the overall effect to make an eyecatching statement in any interior.
