Very large 18th-century Louis XV gilt mirror w/ roses 66¼" x 40½"

This very large gilded mirror dates from the eighteenth century, Louis XV period, and was made in Provence. The size is monumental - hence the two glass panes as at the time it was not possible to make glass large enough to be one single piece. Thesculptural frame is decorated with scrolling acanthus leaves, olive branches and flowers - the detail and relief is extraordinary. This spectacular mirror was sourced from a Hôtel Particulier in Saint-Remy-de-Provence. Note minor losses and some wear to the gilding.
