Elegant Louis Philippe Silver Leaf Mirror - 35" x 26"

This elegant Louis Philippe style mirror dates from the late nineteenth century and exemplifies the restrained refinement of the period. The softly arched form is framed in silver leaf, now beautifully mellowed with time, its surface marked by gentle pitting that lends depth and visual texture without diminishing its luminosity. A finely worked striped border creates a subtle play of light and shadow, lending graphic elegance and rhythm to the frame while remaining true to the Louis Philippe tradition of measured ornament. The original glass remains remarkably clear for its age, with only faint signs of wear, preserving the mirror’s full functionality.

Today, this mirror brings light and quiet elegance to an interior. It works beautifully above a console, over a mantel, or in a bedroom or refined washroom, where its softened silver tones add warmth without glare. The clarity of the glass ensures everyday practicality, while the gently aged frame introduces character and a sense of history, allowing it to sit comfortably in both classic and contemporary spaces.

Condition and patina consistent with age.
Note: Mirrors have been photographed facing fabric, a technique that reveals any age spots in the glass. In some cases, this may create the appearance of an empty frame, but each mirror is complete except where explicitly stated.
