Item Description
A late 18th-century French gilt gesso mirror, c. 1780, in the Louis XVI style.

The original mercury mirror plate displays authentic foxing, adding depth and character.
The gilt surface showcases a warm patina, with areas of red bole subtly visible beneath the gilding. Of versatile medium size, this refined mirror combines an elegant form with an expressive, softly worn surface.
