Large Antique French Statement Mirror XL Decorative Black Gold Foxed Glass Wood
A breathtaking and rare, very large French antique foxed glass statement mirror in lovely condition. Strikingly attractive and wonderfully characterful, this wow-factor square mirror will add refined bygone Gallic grandeur and a stunningly archaic dreamscape aesthetic to any interior.
Impressively sized without being immovably huge, this is a great size and shape for a striking statement mirror. Large square mirrors were en vogue in 19th Century France and this one features a beautifully ornate carved wooden frame in black with golden highlighted embellishments, including Fleur-de-Lys style heraldic feathered patterning, which catches the eye from any position.
The foxed or antiqued glass, probably a later addition, creates a wonderfully charismatic, antiquated and almost dream-like ambiance, which beautifully complements the antique French decorative frame, setting this apart as a fabulously attractive statement mirror in which to conjure one’s most lavish fairy-tale dreamscapes!
CONDITION
This is in very good condition. Solid, sturdy and reassuringly heavy, we suspect this fabulous square mirror was originally made in the early-to-mid 19th Century Louis Phillipe period in France and later remounted at the back, most likely in the second half of the 20th Century, probably when being re-glazed with foxed or antiqued glass. The mirrored glass is in tremendous condition with no noticeable scratches and the frame has hard-to-notice old knocks to two of its four sides, which have been historically repainted. Overall it's a fabulous, sizeable and very rare antique mirror and if well looked after it should be just as stunning for many generations to come – please see the photos.
