Stunning 19th century French gilt rectangular mirror in excellent condition. 

It dates from around 1880.

It has its ornate, gilt on gesso rectangular frame with gorgeous floral gesso detail. 

It has its original 19th century mercury glass with lovely foxing in places, showing it's antique but not detracting from the reflection. Mercury glass is very hard to find and gives a sparkle and reflection like no other!

It has all its original pine backboards. 

It is large enough to use as a freestanding leaner mirror against a wall but would look equally stunning hanging  on a large wall or above a large fireplace.
