Large antique wedding mirror with birds and a coat of arms with arrows.

Cupid's arrows and a pair of birds An elegant trumeau mirror finely carved from the Louis XVI period, dating from around 1780–1820. This tall example is of a rare size for a wedding mirror and features a superbly detailed pediment with two birds and crossed arrows. One bird appears to be a dove, while the other somewhat resembles an eagle, adding an intriguing touch to its symbolism. Delicate garlands of laurel and pendants complete the neoclassical design. In classical tradition, laurel symbolizes victory, renewal, and immortality, making this mirror both a decorative piece and richly symbolic. The mirror retains its original antique glass with charming spotting (foxing), as well as a wooden back. The frame is structurally sound and exhibits a warm patina, marked by time. Small imperfections are consistent with its age and only add to its charm. Notably taller than most mirrors of this type, this rare size makes it a remarkable piece, perfect for bringing understated grandeur to your interior. P.S.: That slight band visible in the photo? It’s simply the reflection of our photo panel, not a ghost from mirrors of yore.
