Antique Louis Philippe Gilded Mirror C1890

19th century
Sold 13 February 2026 · Swag Antiques
This “Antique Louis Philippe Gilded Mirror C1890” found a buyer.

It was listed by Swag Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

This is a fantastic piece. The Louis Philippe style (popularized in the mid-19th century) is characterized by its "rounded shoulders" at the top and a clean, understated elegance that bridges the gap between the ornate Baroque period and the cleaner lines of the 20th century.

Gilded in gold, this involves the application of thin gold leaf over a "bole" (clay base), often showing hints of the red or grey undertones where the leaf has worn thin over time.

The glass plate also has some distress marks showing its age and authenticity.

62cm wide x 85.5cm high x 4cm deep

The Louis Philippe style emerged in France during the mid-19th century, characterised by restrained elegance, understated curves, and minimal ornamentation compared to earlier extravagant periods.

These mirrors typically feature a wooden construction, often pine or gesso-coated base layers, finished with gold leaf or metallic gilt paint applied over bole.

Authentic pieces often display original mercury glass with characteristic foxing, hand-carved corner joints, and aged gesso showing natural wear patterns rather than artificial distress.

Such pieces function well as statement overmantels or floor-standing elements, contrasting clean contemporary lines with traditional craftsmanship.

Dust gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and avoid chemical cleaners, excessive moisture, or direct sunlight to protect the fragile metallic finish.
