Rare Pair of Elegant Parisian Oval Mirrors, Dating from the First Half of the 19th Century (Louis-Philippe Period, 1830-1850), Crafted in Carved Wood and Gilded with Gold Leaf.
The finely worked frames feature the characteristic beaded perimeter decoration, while the gracefully shaped upper crest is adorned with refined foliate motifs, a distinctive hallmark of the era’s style.
A particularly distinguished element is the presence of the original three-arm appliques, a detail as functional as it is theatrical, designed to diffuse the flickering, soft, and enveloping candlelight, enhancing the depth of the reflection.
Perfectly preserved, with their original mirrors intact, these pieces embody the refined taste of 19th-century Paris and the craftsmanship of the period, making them rare and valuable additions to sophisticated interiors.
