Exhibition Quality Louis XV Style Cheval Mirror

Circa 1850. A Louis XV style kingwood and ormolu mounted cheval mirror of monumental proportions, the large shaped framed mirror surmounted by gilded cartouche, with further gilded mounts along the sides, with a swag beneath. The moulded curved corners are cross-banded. The mirror supported on two uprights, with a pair of gilded swivel brackets in the back for holding the mirror in position, the uprights finishing with a scrolling section, on a shaped trestle base issuing four splayed cabriole legs with mounts on the top facings and the corners, with cross-banding. The back of the mirror is finished with polished wood and fabric. This monumental mirror is of the finest quality.
