19th C antique French giltwood rectangular mirror with foxed glass

Lovely example of an antique rectangular Louis XVI style mirror with foxed glass. This beautiful antique French gold gilt mirror has the original mirror plate and wooden back cladding. The gold leaf gilding shows some slight red bole through the gilding, giving the gold colour a warm touch. The mirror frame is in good structural condition, while the glass shows foxing, yet remains in very good shape. Despite the foxing, the mirror still allows clear visibility, making it entirely usable in spaces like hallways or bathrooms. The foxing lends an appealing authentic patina to this mirror, adding to its charm. While minor nicks, chips, and cracks consistent with its age can be observed upon close inspection, they contribute to the mirror's authentic character. Condition: Wear is consistent with age and use. Overall good condition, with usual wear, scratches, minor losses to gilding. Foxed glass.

All of our antique and vintage products show the rich beauty and history of their life with the knocks and bumps of many years of use. We restore our pieces so they will be clean and in a good working condition. However we try to minimise restoration to keep every piece as original as possible.
