Design & Aesthetic Details

Style: Heavily influenced by 18th-century European Baroque and Rococo traditions. It is modeled after the grandiose overmantel mirrors that once decorated the gilded aristocratic salons of Italy and France.

Frame Silhouette: Features an exaggerated, wide-sweeping scalloped shape. The sweeping lines are animated with deep architectural curves and dramatic flowing contours.

Ornamentation: The perimeter is adorned with intricate hand-carved scrollwork, fluid C-scroll designs, acanthus foliate relief details, and organic rocaille forms.

The Crest: The top crown features an openwork, high-relief decorative shell and scrolling crest that acts as the focal anchor for the piece.

Finish: Coated in an antiqued gold metal leaf finish. This treatment gives the gold a deep, dimensional luster, with subtle burnished highlights settling into the recesses to mimic aged historical patina.

Typical Placement

Because of its unique horizontal layout and broad scale, this mirror is intended as a high-end statement accent piece. It is perfectly proportioned to serve as a luminous focal point resting directly above a living room fireplace mantel, an entryway console table, or a grand formal dining room sideboard.
