Louis XV style Mirror Circa 1870

Superb mirror in carved and gilded wood.
The frame, with its flowing lines typical of the Second Empire, is adorned with a refined decoration of acanthus leaves, scrolls, and rocaille shells, inspired by the Louis XV style and reinterpreted with the decorative richness characteristic of the 19th century.

The original gilding, in very good condition, enhances the relief of the decoration and lends the whole an elegant luminosity.
The exquisitely delicate openwork pediment perfectly illustrates the balance between opulence and refinement characteristic of the decorative taste of Napoleon III's reign.

This type of mirror once graced the drawing rooms of the bourgeoisie and private mansions of the second half of the 19th century, bringing brilliance and depth to interiors.
The slightly beveled glass testifies to high-quality craftsmanship.
