Antique French 19th Century Ormolu Wall Mirror with Six Branch Candelabra, Circa 1860

An exceptional and highly decorative 19th-century French ormolu wall mirror, dating to circa 1860, beautifully crafted in richly gilded bronze and complete with its original six-branch candelabra.

This impressive mirror features a pair of removable candelabra arms, expertly secured with high quality dovetailed fittings, demonstrating the outstanding level of French craftsmanship. When fitted, the elegant side arms create a striking six light display, making this an eye catching statement piece for both period and contemporary interiors.

The substantial cast ormolu frame is finely chased with an intricate lattice pattern interwoven with scrolling foliage and floral decoration. Crowning the mirror is a beautifully modelled pediment depicting a rural bagpipe player, cast in solid bronze and adding a charming pastoral touch.

Retaining its original circular mirror plate, the glass displays an attractive light patina consistent with age while remaining in good condition. The mirror is traditionally housed from the reverse within its original pine backboard, secured by brass retaining clips, and fitted with a substantial hanging ring for secure wall mounting.

The ormolu retains its bright original finish, and the piece is presented in excellent condition with no damage or repairs. Combining sculptural beauty with practical function, this remarkable mirror is a superb example of mid 19th century French decorative art and would make an outstanding focal point in any elegant interior.
