Large 18th Century Regency Period Mirror

Magnificent Regency period mirror in carved and gilded wood This sumptuous Regency period mirror, dating from the early 18th century, is a fine example of the elegance and decorative refinement specific to this period. It is distinguished by a finely carved and gilded wooden frame, decorated with rich rocaille motifs and stylized foliage. The gilding gives the whole a warm and authentic patina. The upper part, particularly spectacular, is surmounted by an openwork pediment decorated with a flower basket in relief, surrounded by volutes, foliage and trellis motifs in the background, typical of the Regency style. This ornamentation, of great finesse, perfectly illustrates the transition between the rigor of the Louis XIV style and the lightness of the emerging Rococo style. The mirror itself is glazing beads, which adds to the nobility of the object and testifies to quality craftsmanship. It is framed by a molding decorated with pearls and raised foliage, which accentuate the visual richness of the whole. This mirror, a true piece of character, will naturally find its place in a classic interior or in contrast in a contemporary decor, bringing a touch of history and prestige.
