Description
A large rectangular wall mirror featuring an ornate frame in the Rococo Revival style. The frame is constructed of wood with applied composition ornamentation finished in a warm-toned gilding. The design includes prominent scrolled acanthus leaf and foliate crests at each corner, integrated into a series of borders with beaded, gadrooned, and cove-molded detailing. The mirror plate is clear. The reverse of the frame is sealed with a brown paper dust cover and is fitted with a braided metal hanging wire for wall mounting. No labels, maker’s marks, or signatures are present.
31.5 x 39.5 inches.
Condition report:
The mirror and frame are in good condition. The frame shows minor surface dust and light wear to the gilded finish consistent with age. Fine craquelure is visible in the composition ornamentation, particularly within the deeper recesses of the corner crests. The mirror plate is clear without significant scratches or silvering loss. The paper backing on the verso has a small tear in the upper right quadrant.
