Fabulous, shabby and distressed French Louis Philippe aged white mirror. Layers and layers of old paint and weathering have created a wonderful effect, with striking hints of gold leaf, as well as green and black.
A heavily foxed and worn mercury glass plate completes the effect. (All measurements are approximate and provided as a guide). Mirror has been kept in as-found, distressed condition, with losses allover to paint and frame and heavy foxing and wear to mirror plate. This is what makes it wonderful.
Some woodworm holes are evident on the back - the mirror has been given a thorough woodworm treatment as a precaution. Later ply backing boards have been added. Please refer to all photos for details.This product is a vintage item and will show some signs of cosmetic wear/patina. 1-4 weeks depending on your location.
