Miroir à parcloses en bois sculpté et doré et verre églomisé d'époque Régence, vers 1720

le fronton ajouré à décor sculpté de feuilles d'acanthe, fleurs et fruits, centré sur un médaillon ceint de feuilles d'acanthe ; l'encadrement à décor sculpté de feuillages et pareloses en verre églomisé à décor de rinceaux feuillagés argent gravé sur fond rouge

Colors don't match exactly the photograph : the gilding is actually more yellow and the eglomized background is more reddish. The main mirror plate has been replaced and the one which was behind the pediment is now missing. As expected, the eglomized plates with stains ; three plates with a small crack. Otherwise in good condition. The gilded wood possibly refreshed in places, now rubbed on the more exposed areas. Several chips on the gilded gesso : missing pieces, especially in the pediment as visible on the image. On the right side of the pediment, the grape ornament with little lose. Still in this side, one ornament almost entirely detached but present. Beautiful mirror with imposing look, in overall good condition. Attractive eglomized glass work.
