Monumental French Neoclassical Giltwood Pier Mirror with Carved Crest and Lions

A monumental French neoclassical giltwood pier mirror, richly carved with a dramatic architectural crest, laurel and foliate ornament, and bold lion-form supports at the lower corners. The tall rectangular mirror plate is framed by finely carved molding and rests on an impressive stepped base, giving it the presence of a grand salon or hôtel particulier piece. The warm antique gilded finish has beautiful depth and age, with just enough wear to keep it from looking too fussy or overly polished.
