Mirror After "thomas Hache" With Double Inverted Profiles Early 18th Century

Mirror with double inverted profiles from the beginning of the 18th century around (1700). Richly decorated with scrolls of flowers and natural foliage in native wood marquetry, the border is decorated with a frieze of scrolls. Mercury glass and this original. We can compare this type of mirror to the much more austere and rustic Huguenot mirrors which are used to hide the Bible, sermons or other religious documents, and which are found in the Cévennes (Gard or Lozère). This type of mirror of extraordinary quality, certainly comes from the workshop of "THOMAS HACHE" in Toulouse. Great finesse of marquetry, made with the technique of shading with hot sand. Languedoc, LOUIS XIV period. In a perfect state .
