This tall 19th-century Louis XVI style mirror is rendered in a bright gold colour and serves as a decorative hall or dressing piece for a domestic interior, functioning well above a sideboard or console table. The upright rectangular form measures 179.7 cm high, 94 cm wide, and 14 cm deep. Constructed from gesso and timber finished in giltwood, the frame encloses an original bevelled glass plate with a curved top. The piece incorporates fine hand-carved details including an ornate bow cresting with ribbon ties, trailing floral garlands, a central cabochon with a stylised shell, and cascading bead mouldings. Alternating rows of ribbon twist, lozenge patterns, and bead motifs run along the vertical margins of the moulded and fluted frame, supported on a shaped platform base.

FAQs

These mirrors are defined by timber frames decorated with thin sheets of gold leaf over a carved wood or gesso base, often featuring classical cresting such as bows, ribbons, and garlands inspired by Louis XVI design.

Craftsmen carved the frame from timber, applied multiple layers of gesso and clay bole, and then meticulously applied gold leaf before inserting hand-cut glass with bevelled edges.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit subtle wear revealing the underlying red or grey clay bole beneath the gold leaf, alongside period backboards and light foxing to the original glass.

A tall gilded mirror can be positioned above a console table or mantelpiece to introduce height, reflect natural light, and contrast against clean modern wall finishes.

The frame should be lightly dusted using a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding water or chemical cleaning products that could dissolve the traditional water-gilded finish.
