Very large 19th century gilt overmantel mirror

The Piece

About this piece

A very large original 19th century gilt mirror with a beautifully fine frame. There’s something lovely about this combination of generous scale and delicate detail, it has real presence without feeling heavy, and the gilt brings warmth to a room.

It would look wonderful above a substantial console or chest, or simply resting against a wall, catching the light and opening up the space around it. A piece that can quietly transform a room while sitting happily alongside both antique and contemporary furniture.

In lovely condition for its age, with only minor repairs and no significant losses to the frame.
