Important Regency Period Pediment Mirror In Richly Carved Gilded Wood With A Cornucopia

Rare and Important Regency period mirror circa 1720; this beautiful piece of perfect period gilding with gold leaf is richly carved in a so-called Bérain frame with ears surmounted by a marvelous ornate pediment, carved with a beautiful horn of plenty in the center. The magnificent original pediment has the sculpture of the leaves identical to the frame with a slight asymmetry at the base announcing the French Baroque style of Louis XV; We have here a beautiful large exceptional piece in perfect condition, with a regular tint and without defects... A piece that has passed through time without any damage, healthy and free of parasites and with a lively and very well applied gilding, the rich sculpture is not left out and the slender pediment with protruding and generous palmettes on a pediment in an animated arch decorated with flutters, scrolls and acanthus leaves on a cross-shaped background in regular diamonds, the horn of plenty offering a bouquet of blooming and generous flowers held upright. The frame of the mirror is not left out and is punctuated by four corner ears and four intermediate ones, all in scrolls and acanthus leaves
