£375    $508    €442
French Rococo Revival Oak and Gilt Gesso Wall Mirror, Circa 1870–1890
 
A highly decorative late 19th-century French Rococo / Louis XV Revival wall mirror, framed in solid oak and enriched with applied gilt gesso ornament. The serpentine frame is crisply shaped, with flowing Rococo curves and scrolling foliate cartouches to the corners and mid-points. The gilt detailing retains its original late-19th-century finish, with areas of natural wear revealing the underlying gesso and bole, giving the whole a wonderfully authentic period character.
 
The original silvered mirror plate remains in place, displaying attractive age-speckling consistent with 19th-century glass. The contrast between the mellow, figured oak and the softly worn gilding makes this a particularly appealing decorative mirror, suitable for hallways, bedrooms, sitting rooms, or above a console or chimney piece.
