Lyon Mirror From The 18th Century, Regence Period

Sublime French pedimented mirror in carved and gilded wood from the end of the 18th century. In the center, an intertwined monogram adds a touch of elegance and refinement, probably a mark of aristocratic commission. It is framed by two charming winged putti in the round, whose graceful posture brings movement and lightness to the whole. At the top, a third triumphant cherub holds a basket of flowers, symbolizing abundance and prosperity. The decoration is embellished with a profusion of foliage, acanthus and finely chiseled flowers, testifying to the exceptional know-how of the craftsmen of the time.

The original, well-preserved gilding gives this piece a brilliant luminosity and an authentic patina that underlines its antique character.

The glass of this mirror made of mercury has a magnificent 3 cm wide bevel.
