Patricia still marvels at the scale of those rooms: \"You can imagine how tall the ceilings were,\" she recalls — and indeed, a mirror of this height was simply what those proportions demanded. \n\nThe frame is gilded wood, dressed in the restrained ornamental vocabulary of the Louis-Philippe period — a beaded inner border, a rope-twist outer moulding and, crowning the top, a carved cartouche of scrolling acanthus and shell forms. The gilding has the warm, slightly uneven tone that only comes with age, neither brash nor faded. The frame will be professionally repaired before shipping.\n\nLeaned against a wall or hung in a generous hallway, bedroom or living room, this mirror brings immediate architectural weight to a space. It rewards a room with good light and a high ceiling — though it is equally at home creating the illusion of both. A piece with genuine Parisian provenance, it is the kind of object that makes a room feel as though it has always been exactly right.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition and wear consistent with age and use.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 78¾\" high x 45¼\" wide x 8\" thick  \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 200cm high x 115cm wide x 20cm thick \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54310832505170,"sku":"25379","price":7995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC01835-Modifier_e58d8a86-3cad-4733-814e-6515ecaa4ddf.jpg?v=1787294799","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/antique-french-gilt-overmantel-mirror-louis-philippe-style-783-4-x-451-4","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
