Description
A striking mid-century giltwood sunburst mirror featuring a richly carved frame composed of radiating acanthus leaves finished in warm burnished gold. The beautifully sculpted frame surrounds an original circular mirror plate with naturally foxed mercury-style glass, lending the piece exceptional depth, character, and old-world charm.
The finely detailed beaded inner molding and dimensional leaf carving create a dramatic play of light and shadow, while the mellow gilt finish has developed a wonderful patina over time. The original mirror retains attractive age-related silvering and foxing, making this piece as decorative as it is functional.
Perfect as a statement above a fireplace, console, or powder room vanity, this timeless mirror complements interiors ranging from French and Italian neoclassical to Hollywood Regency and modern organic design.
Presented in very good vintage condition with a beautifully aged gilt finish, light wear consistent with age, and desirable foxing to the original mirror plate.
