This elegant Swedish mirror dates to the early nineteenth century and reflects the refined neoclassical aesthetic associated with the Gustavian period. Crafted with balanced proportions and a tall, architectural silhouette, the frame is richly detailed with carved ornamentation and retains its original painted and gilt decoration. The crest features classical motifs that lend subtle grandeur without excess, while the slender vertical format makes the mirror especially versatile for both traditional and transitional interiors.
The softly aged surface shows a warm, authentic patina developed over more than two centuries, enhancing the mirror’s character and historical presence. The glass is original or early, contributing gentle distortion consistent with age. Ideal for use in an entry hall, bedroom, or between windows, this mirror brings light, height, and quiet elegance to any space.
A fine example of early 19th-century Swedish craftsmanship, valued for its restrained ornament, harmony of form, and timeless appeal.
