Item Description
Antique French gilt cushioned mirror, circa 1840, with reeded outer frame decorated along the inside edge with delicate, overlapping, acanthus leaves. The narrower, reeded, inner frame has a dainty row of beading along both inner and outer edges. The two frames are linked at each corner with a diagonal, partly lyre-shaped, leaf design. A pierced, curling, leaf and stem, windswept, cartouche flanked by floral swags decorates the top of the mirror and the top of each side of the mirror features a griffin's head above a curled acanthus leaf and floral swags. The curled acanthus leaf and floral design is repeated at the base of each side. The original, mercury glass is bevelled in every section of the mirror, is in very good condition and gives an excellent reflection. This unusually wide cushioned mirror would make a stunning overmantel.
