This large French Rococo wall mirror originates from 1920. Constructed from walnut with a warm brown finish, the frame displays an arched top with bevelled glass. Ornate floral and acanthus leaf carving forms the central top crest, complemented by carved scrollwork at the lower corners. The glass exhibits visible foxing from age, lending an authentic antique character to the piece. Overall dimensions are 193 cm high, 123 cm wide, and 4 cm deep. Suitable for placement above a mantelpiece or as a substantial statement piece in a hallway or living room, this wall mirror integrates seamlessly into traditional or French chateau interiors. The decorative wooden moulding and substantial proportions make it a practical addition for reflecting light and adding depth to a home today.

FAQs

French Rococo style mirrors feature arched frames, elaborate top crests, serpentine curves, and hand-carved foliage or shell motifs.

These mirrors were constructed using solid carved walnut frames paired with silvered or mercurial glass plates featuring bevelled edges.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved joinery details, natural oxidisation on the mirror plate, and solid timber backboards.

Position the mirror above a mantelpiece, sideboard, or console table to create architectural focus and reflect natural light across the room.

Dust the timber frame using a soft dry brush, apply beeswax sparingly to preserve the wood finish, and clean the glass plate with a soft cloth.
