Early 19th Century French Gilt Mirror

19th century

Sold by Rams Head Antiques

The mirror dates from the late Regency period, circa 1830 and remarkably has all of the original gilded gesso detail intact and in beautiful order. The mirror glass is the original 3/8” plate in excellent clean condition and it has its original backboards.
