Mirror - gilded wood - Revival Wall mirror 1890

This mirror represents the Louis XV Revival style, a late 19th-century French interpretation of traditional 18th-century Rococo design. True to Rococo aesthetics, the frame celebrates nature and movement, completely avoiding rigid straight lines. The top features an asymmetric, openwork crested cimasa overflowing with carved botanical volutes, stylized C-scrolls, and acanthus leaves. The contoured glass follows a fluid, cartouche-like silhouette. This sense of organic growth flows down the sides, culminating in a symmetrical scallop shell motif at the base. It perfectly captures the whimsical, airy elegance that defined the opulent interiors of the French court 42x89H cm
