French Gilt & Etched Glass Mirror

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Beau Nash Bath
Description

Early 20th century French gilt and etched-glass wall mirror. A highly decorative early 20th-century wall mirror in the Rococo Revival taste, with strong Venetian influence. The substantial shaped frame is richly ornamented with scrolling acanthus leaves, flowerheads and moulded architectural detailing, rising to an elaborate pierced crest centred by a cartouche. The large central mirror plate is bordered by narrow bevelled mirrored slips, finely etched with floral and foliate motifs and incorporating attractive blue-toned sections. The warm, time-worn gilding gives the piece a wonderfully theatrical appearance and highlights the depth of the carved and moulded decoration.

FAQs

A cushion mirror, or miroir coussin, features a central glass pane surrounded by angled or decorative mirrored borders, designed historically to magnify light reflection across a room.

Traditional French gilt mirrors were constructed from carved timber frames coated in gesso, layered with clay bole, finished with gold leaf, and fitted with silvered mirror glass panels.

Authentic pieces frequently display visible red or yellow clay bole underneath worn gilding, hand-carved wooden backing boards, and natural oxidisation spots on the glass.

Position the mirror above a streamlined modern sideboard or fireplace mantelpiece to create a balanced contrast between historical craftsmanship and contemporary design.

Dust the giltwood frame using a soft dry brush, while cleaning glass sections carefully with a dry microfibre cloth to prevent liquid from seeping into the gilding.
