Stock No: 16042

A fine French 18th century Louis XVI gilt gesso mirror, with a beaded slip and trailing leaves decorating the frame. There is a beautifully modelled laurel ribboned garland centred by a quiver of arrows and a trophies of war to the surmount. This detail perhaps alludes to the unrest in France at the end of the 18th century.

French, c.1780.
Original gilding but a later mirror plate.

Provenance: From the estate of the late Marguerite Littman.
