French Mirror Cabinet Gilded With Gold Leaf, Featuring The Original Mirror – 19th Century

An elegant French mirror from the second half of the 19th century, crafted from wood gilded with gold leaf. The frame features a simple yet elegant design with rounded corners, embellished with a refined engraved floral decoration and an inner band of beaded gold leaf. The antique gilding retains a pleasant patina developed over time, which enhances its authentic and decorative character. The mirror retains its original silvered mirror, a feature particularly appreciated by lovers of period furniture. The reflective surface shows some signs of wear consistent with the object’s age: light peripheral scratches and limited marginal oxidation are visible, along with a small surface loss of silver plating along the edge, clearly documented in the photographs. The central part of the mirror, however, maintains good reflective quality. The back retains its original wooden backing, attesting to the piece’s integrity. A small antique strip has been inserted to compensate for the natural shrinkage of the wood, a common conservation practice in period pieces.Thanks to its balanced proportions and refined decorative presence, this mirror fits easily into both classical and contemporary settings.Period: second half of the 19th century (circa 1870–1890) Origin: France Material: wood gilded with gold leaf and original silvered mirror Dimensions: 80 × 125 cm Condition: good overall condition.
