Belle Époque French Gilded & Olive Green Wall Mirror with Ribbon Crest

p0234 A slim and remarkably charming French Belle Époque wall mirror, dating to circa 1900. This fine antique pier-style mirror is highly unique for its multi-layered composition, featuring its original paintwork and gilding preserved in untouched condition. The central design showcases the original bevelled edge glass mirror plate, which displays an authentic, gentle aging that adds character. The glass is housed within a moulded and flower carved gilded frame adorned with delicate gilded floral swags. This ornate woodwork is set against its original olive green painted board, offering a beautiful, muted contrast that allows the gold detailing to shine. The crowning glory of this elegant piece is a prominent carved and gilded ribbon bow at the crest. The mirror retains its original backboards equipped with four fixing brackets. A wonderful statement piece for an entryway, hallway, or above a mantle, presented in home-ready condition.
