{"product_id":"vintage-louis-xv-style-wall-mirror-73568","title":"Vintage Louis XV Style Wall Mirror, Gold-Tone Resin Frame with Palmette Crest and Scrolled Shell Base, Attributed 1970s–80s, 42 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the 1970s and 1980s, a new material brought the look of carved and gilded frames within reach of ordinary homes. Makers took moulds from hand-carved originals and cast copies in resin, a tough synthetic that holds every detail of the carving. The result had the outline and ornament of a classic French frame, but it was lighter, sturdier and far more affordable, and resin mirrors of this kind found their way into entrance halls and bedrooms across Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mirror shows that technique well, in the Louis XV style. Its shaped frame curves inward at the shoulders and rounds off at the base, with a stepped, triple-ribbed moulding running all the way around. At the top, a crest of fanned leaves, known as a palmette, rises between two small scrolls. At the bottom, a pair of curling scrolls sits above a small fan-shaped shell. The whole frame is finished in a warm gold tone, with slightly deeper shading in the recesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mirror is in excellent condition. It is light and easy to hang, and its tall, narrow proportions suit a hallway, a bathroom wall or the space beside a front door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, this is a vintage Louis XV style wall mirror with a gold-tone resin frame, a palmette crest and a scrolled shell base, attributed to the 1970s–80s. It is 42 cm tall and exactly as pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: Height 42 cm (16.5 in); width 21.5 cm (8.5 in); depth 5 cm (2 in).
