A tall painted wood mirror made from mid-18th century French door frames with carved motifs. This general linearity reminds us of the new neoclassical taste that was spreading throughout Europe thanks to the rediscovery of Pompeii and Herculaneum. It is however accented by the delicate movement created by the protruding side posts, adorned with an exquisite rhythm of elegantly carved motifs, topped with stylized pinecones. The cornice shows an impeccable symmetry that brings a lovely visual conclusion to the ensemble. The central mirror plate is clear, providing a perfect reflection. This mirror frame is painted in a soft two-toned palette, that highlights the decorative motifs beautifully. With their clean lines and exquisite carved décor, this mirror will enliven any room beautifully above an enfilade or buffet.
