This early 18th-century French oak mirror is richly carved with seashells, flowers, foliage, and graceful scrolls, while the mirror plate is encircled by a delicate frieze of beads. Likely a frame later converted into a mirror, it features an antique mercury plate with attractive foxing.
The finely carved motifs are enhanced by the deep brown of the oak, its natural veining, and the tactile quality of the hand-carving. In excellent condition, this rare mirror combines refined craftsmanship with subtle patina.
