Antique French oval mirror, from the Napoleon III era (mid-19th century), made of carved and gilded wood with gold leaf, an example of extraordinary craftsmanship and refined decorative taste.
The sumptuously carved oval frame features rich floral and plant motifs, culminating at the top with a magnificent cymatium decorated with a basket of flowers, scrollwork, and two graceful winged cherubs holding garlands of roses. The deep and meticulous carvings reveal the meticulous craftsmanship typical of the finest 19th-century French workshops.
The gilded wood features a warm, original patina that enhances the sculptural details and gives the piece an authentic, timeless charm. The contemporary mirror shows slight oxidation, a testament to its age and enhancing its character.
This important piece of furniture perfectly represents the Napoleon III style, with its rocaille and baroque influences, and is magnificently suited as a representative piece in entrance halls, lounges or prestigious bedrooms.
