This Napoleon gilt mirror  dates from the early 1800s.

It has a beautiful ornate real gilt (gold leaf) on gesso frame in perfect condition and gorgeous heavily foxed mercury glass. Mercury glass was not made after 1835 and gives a sparkle like no other. All the Versailles mirrors are made of mercury glass. 

It has all its original backboards.

It would look beautiful on a wall or used as an overmantel.
