Carved wood, lacquered and gilded openwork pediment mirror decorated with a Putto musician from the French Louis XIV period<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
An exceptional and elegant openwork pediment mirror from the French Louis XIV period circa 1700-1710, carved in red lacquered wood and gilded with gold leaf. The pediment is beautifully and elegantly decorated with a Putto musician playing a flute, adorned with bellflowers and palmettes, the frame decorated with flower falls and palmettes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our mirror can be compared with an important mirror from the same period, circa 1700-1710, kept at the Mus\u00e9e des Arts d\u00e9coratifs under inventory number inv. 26547 and reproduced in the book \u00ab\u00a0Tromper les Yeux, Miroirs dans le Grand D\u00e9cor en Europe (XVIIe et XVIIIe si\u00e8cle)\u00a0\u00bb, page 21, \u00c9ditions Faton.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sizes: H 51.96 In. - W 29.13 In.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our mirror has been restored to a condition close to that which it was in the early 18th century. The mirror has probably been replaced.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A rare piece that will be appreciated by collectors and connoisseurs of French Grand Si\u00e8cle of Arts.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
