Louis XVI style pedimented mirror

Here is a magnificent louis XVI style mirror with a remarkable pediment (probably from the end of the 19th century, napoleon III period) or even the very beginning of the 20th century with four detached corners to give it even greater presence. It is a painted wood and stucco mirror, nicely illustrated. We completely renovated it to restore the gilding it had lost over time. We thus find more of the arabesque sculptures which give it an additional “class”. The beautifully crafted frame, illustrated with floral motifs, presents both simple lines and research in the decorations. The interior pearls also give this beautiful mirror an unexpected lightness. The pediment (we are almost on a real frontispiece as the amplitude is interesting) is nicely openwork and quite ample, but without being massive. It alone transforms this beautiful mirror by giving it a real dimension. Especially since, on both sides, at the top and bottom, an ornamentation in 4 overflowing pieces gives it an unrivaled presence and an amplitude which can only seduce. It is a superb piece as long as it is highlighted in a corridor which it will illuminate, in a beautiful room, again, which it will help to illuminate. An alliance of substantial dimensions and a certain lightness reflected in the decorations and profiles, this object is unique. We have the impression that it crosses eras and therefore styles to be comfortable in more modern, even offbeat environments, such as a bathroom, an entrance...
