The ornamentation is hand-carved and gessoed, retaining its original water-gilded and burnished surface with extensive, authentic age patina throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe frame displays a layered profile: an outer molded edge, a recessed frieze carved with continuous scrolling foliage, and an inner beaded sight edge framing a modern replacement mirror plate. The gilding shows areas of wear, oxidation, and craquelure consistent with age, revealing warm undertones and creating a highly desirable surface character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe mirror plate was replaced and is not original to the piece and the mirror does not retain its original wooden backing boards. This piece presents beautifully as a decorative object and carries the visual weight and patina collectors seek in authentic French giltwood mirrors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"For the Louvre of Antiques LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48143860465919,"sku":null,"price":575.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/8780\/4927\/files\/09a88b68-9206-4ee0-b252-8491136e46ad.png?v=1770344867","url":"https:\/\/forthelouvreofantiques.com\/products\/19th-century-french-giltwood-mirror-with-carved-foliate-decoration","provider":"For the Louvre of Antiques LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
