Estimated 1740-1820 French manufacture, this is a large Pier mirror made with mercury in the silvering/glass. The effect is a sparkling, glittery layer perceivable in reflection. It’s backed with thick walnut hand punched with serial number. The frame is classic verde gilt in rococo or neoclassical style. Likely once mounted in a grand foyer, it now serves well as an impressive dressing room or exercise floor mirror.
There are multiple areas of chips and damage to the gilt composite, best left to professional antiques restoration if desired. The bottom aspect of the frame is structurally questionable, and consequently supported with wood beams.
An amazing focal point or accent for your elevated space
