Item Description
Style: Crowning the elegant rectangular frame is an intricately carved crest, with a focal melodic musical instrument motif, floral garlands, and laurel leaves—elements traditionally symbolising union, harmony and eternal love. Framed by a back border of later painted pale blue, the delicate beaded detailing along the inner border further enhances its refinement, embodying the timeless elegance characteristic of the Louis XVI style.
Story: Beyond its breathtaking Louis XVI giltwood craftsmanship and striking French Neoclassical design, this late 18th-century mirror holds a profound cultural story. It is a ‘miroir de mariage’, a traditional wedding mirror once gifted to brides as an enduring token of love, prosperity, and fidelity—a truly cherished custom central to French nuptials of the era.
