A late 18th-century French gilt gesso mirror in the Louis XVI style. Of compact rectangular form, the mirror is framed by an elegant beaded frieze while the gilt moulding is set against a green painted base.
The warm patina of the gilding creates a quiet contrast with the green ground, lending the piece an understated decorative presence. A well-proportioned mirror with elegant details and a harmonious colour combination characteristic of the period.
