Antique French Louis Philippe–Style Giltwood Mirror

A wonderfully grand antique French Louis Philippe–style mirror with a beautifully worn giltwood frame. The tall rectangular form is bordered in fine beaded carving, with layered molding that gives it a lovely sense of depth and old-world presence.

The original-looking mirror plate has a gently smoky, timeworn surface that adds all the charm—just enough foxing and softness to keep it from looking too precious or shiny-new. It would be marvelous over a console, in an entry, above a mantel, or leaned dramatically in a bedroom or dressing room.

A handsome old mirror with the sort of patina that makes a room feel instantly collected.
