Tall French Louis XV Style Giltwood Mirror with Rococo Crest

A wonderfully dramatic tall giltwood mirror in the Louis XV taste, with a shaped beveled-looking mirror plate framed by lavish rococo carving. The crest features a large shell-and-acanthus flourish, with scrolling foliate ornament, roses, beaded trim, and shaped shoulders continuing down the long narrow frame. Its warm, aged gilding and beautifully theatrical silhouette give it real Paris apartment / château dressing-room energy. Perfect over a console, in a powder room, or leaned against a wall in a bedroom or shop vignette.
