This 19th-century French Louis Philippe mirror dates from around 1860. The piece takes the form of a wall-hanging mirror with a softly moulded profile, rounded upper corners, and a beaded border along the inner edge of the gold leaf on gesso frame. The wooden structure holds its original heavy glass plate, which remains clear without foxing, while the gold-coloured leaf displays an intact surface with no chips. Measuring 142 cm high by 86 cm wide, the mirror stands at a substantial scale suited for domestic interiors. Placed in a modern home, it functions well positioned above a mantelpiece or mounted in a hallway.

FAQs

Louis Philippe mirrors originated in mid-19th century France, characterised by clean lines, rounded upper corners, a flat base, and subtle gilded ornamentation often featuring beadwork or etched floral motifs.

These mirrors typically feature a carved wooden or gesso frame, hand-applied gold leaf gilding, and silvered glass mirror plates backed with pine boards.

Authentic 19th-century pieces usually exhibit original pine backboards, natural foxing or oxidisation on the glass plate, red bole showing beneath worn gilding, and rounded top shoulders.

A Louis Philippe mirror can be placed above a fireplace mantelpiece, mounted above a hallway console table, or rested against a wall in a contemporary living space to create warmth and reflection.

Dust the frame gently using a soft, dry feather duster or dry watercolour brush, avoiding water, liquid cleansers, or polish which can strip original gold leaf or soften water gilding.
