Description

There are many gilt mirrors that were made in this period but few ever survive with all of their original decorative details intact. And even fewer survive with their original gilt surface as this one. This mirror is distinguished by exceptional proportions and finely carved eagle. These girandoles are a great decorative element in a room especially because of the way the convex mirror surface reflects images and light. Date: 1800-1810 Dimensions: 28" Height 24" Width

Condition: Fair condition, in need of some restoration
