Piedmontese Louis XVI Mirror, Late 18th Century

Piedmontese Louis XVI mirror, late 18th century

The mirror shown is an elegant example of Piedmontese manufacture in the Louis XVI style, dating back to the late 18th century.

A rare free-standing or console mirror in carved and gilded wood.

The rectangular structure rests on two wavy feet decorated with leafy scrolls, while the top is enriched by a complex perforation of floral and leafy motifs, culminating in a central bouquet in relief.

The frames feature a refined decoration with beading and plant motifs in relief, with small rosettes at the corners.

On the sides you can see refined open elements and hanging festoons, typical of the Piedmontese neoclassical taste.

The original mirror, contemporary with the structure, shows a fascinating oxidation with spots that attest to its authenticity and age.

Good state of conservation, wear of the gilding compatible with the age
