Dimensions:
Late 18th century French gilt leaner mirror in excellent condition.
It dates from the late 1700s.
It has its stunning original real gilt (gold leaf) on gesso frame with impressive and unusual (53cm) floral, leaf and shell crest, all in exception condition with no chips.
It has its original heavily foxed mercury glass with no scratches. Mercury glass was not made after 1840 and gives a beautiful sparkle in sunlight.
It has all its original backboards.
It is so difficult to find mirrors of this size in exceptional original condition.
It would have been used as an overmantel mirror in a large room but would also look incredible as a freestanding leaner mirror in a hallway, bedroom or living room perhaps.
