French 19th Century Ebonised And Faux Tortoiseshell Framed Mirror

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Whites Antiques

This is such a handsome mirror; the faux tortoise shell inlay and ebonised wood frame enclose the later antiqued and distressed mirror and it would be a wonderful addition to any interior when used as an accent to be prized for its dramatic appearance.
 
The gilded slip immediately next to the mirror, the depth of the tiers of ebonised plain, carved rippled and reeded trims have a dramatic effect that catch the light and reflect in a subtle manner and culminate in perfectly mitred corners. These separate and further enhance the contrasting areas depicting the hand painted faux tortoiseshell.
 
The hand painted faux tortoiseshell with its rich variety of warm tones of amber, gold and brown has been skillfully executed by mixing pigments to make up a palette of colours used with varying sizes and types of artists paint brushes.
