Elegant French mirror from the second half of the 19th century, made of wood gilded with gold leaf. The frame features a sober and elegant line with rounded corners, enriched by refined engraved floral decoration and an inner band of gilded pastiglia beads. The antique gilding retains a pleasant patina developed over time, enhancing its authentic and decorative character.The mirror retains its original silvered glass, an element particularly appreciated by lovers of antique furniture. The reflective surface shows some signs of age consistent with the object's age: slight perimeter scratches and limited marginal oxidations are visible, as well as a small superficial loss of silvering along the edge, well documented in the photographs. The central part of the mirror, however, maintains good reflective quality.The back retains the original wooden board backing, a testament to the artifact's integrity. A small antique strip has been inserted to compensate for the natural shrinkage of the wood, a common conservation intervention in artifacts of that era.Thanks to its balanced proportions and refined decorative presence, this mirror can easily be placed in both classic and contemporary settings.Period: second half of the 19th century (circa 1870-1890)Origin: FranceMaterial: wood gilded with gold leaf and original silvered mirrorDimensions: 80 x 125 cmCondition: good general condition.
