The broad, deeply molded frame is decorated with a continuous band of carved flowers and foliage intertwined with a flowing ribbon motif, bordered by delicate beading along the inner and outer edges. Its rich gold-leaf gilding has developed a mellow patina, with warm golden highlights and darker tones that accentuate the relief of the decoration.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOriginally most likely a portrait frame, it has been converted into a mirror, with a new glass plate and wooden backing. The replacement glass is beautifully clear, making it as practical as it is decorative, while the original gilded frame retains its antique character.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWith its generous scale and classical elegance, this mirror would make a striking focal point on a mantel in a layered living room or above a large console in a spacious entryway. Its clear reflection also makes it an appealing choice for a bathroom, where the aged gilding would contrast beautifully with marble or stone, adding a touch of 19th-century grandeur with all the practicality of a modern mirror. \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 39½\" high x 34¾\" wide x 4\" thick \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 100cm high x 88cm wide x 10cm thick\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55412338622802,"sku":"26235","price":3595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC02402-Modifier.jpg?v=1794389536","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/large-19th-century-french-oval-giltwood-mirror-with-richly-carved-frame-391-2-x-343-4","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
