Louis XVI Style Giltwood Pediment Mirror, Late 18th Century
A large rectangular mirror made of carved and gilded wood. This piece is distinguished by a spectacular, richly carved pediment. At the top, a dove with outstretched wings—a symbol of peace or love—is set within a laurel wreath.
It overlooks a central medallion adorned with two flaming hearts pierced by arrows, resting on a fluted base. A frieze of twisted ribbons and a beaded frieze. The frame is flanked by broad cascades of foliage and laurel leaves that cascade down the side panels.
The lower section is adorned with two stylized scroll-shaped brackets, allowing the mirror to rest elegantly on a mantelpiece or console table.
