An ornate Rococo style wall mirror featuring a gilt finished composite frame. The frame is constructed with elaborate openwork carving in a Rococo revival manner, incorporating characteristic C-scrolls, scrolling acanthus leaves, and prominent rose blossom motifs at the crest, base, and sides. The shaped mirror plate follows the irregular, scrolling inner edge of the frame, creating a decorative silhouette. The finish presents as a warm gold colour with darker accents in the recessed areas to enhance the depth of the carving. No manufacturer’s marks, signatures, or retailer labels are visible on the frame or the glass. This lot comprises the mirror only.
Condition report:
The frame shows general wear and rubbing to the gilt finish, with some minor age-related cracking to the composite surface visible in the detailed views (photos 2 and 4). The mirror plate is intact but exhibits significant foxing and degradation of the silvering, particularly evident in the upper and right-hand sections (photos 1 and 3).
