Each corner is embellished with carved scrolling ornaments, while a delicate Bérain-style outer border completes the composition. The gilding has mellowed to warm coppery-gold and reddish-brown tones, with rubbing and small losses that give the frame a beautifully aged appearance. The glass has extensive foxing and desilvering, particularly across the central plate, where irregular patches of silver-gray, charcoal and cloudy white create an almost painterly effect.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMore decorative than functional as a looking glass, this mirror's appeal lies in its wonderfully atmospheric surface. Almost like an abstract painting, it could take the place of a work of art above a narrow console in an entrance hall or over a fireplace, or sit naturally among antique portraits and landscapes on a gallery wall. The warm gilding and beautifully mottled glass bring a sense of history and a slightly mysterious quality to the room. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 22¾\" high x 20\" wide x 1½\" thick \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 58cm high x 51cm wide x 4cm thick\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55001165758802,"sku":"26066","price":3495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC09823-Modifier.jpg?v=1791552900","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/18th-century-french-giltwood-parclose-mirror-with-foxed-glass-223-4-x-20","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
