19th Century Neoclassical Giltwood Mirror with Greek Key Detail

An elegant 19th century neoclassical mirror featuring a refined giltwood frame with architectural detailing and classical ornament. The upper section is adorned with a reverse-painted verre églomisé panel highlighted by a stylized Greek key motif, framed within scrolling foliate decoration. The crest is finished with a bold cornice supported by gilt spheres and rosettes, lending the piece both gravitas and sophistication.

Retaining its original mercury glass, now beautifully foxed with age, the mirror surface reflects the patina and authenticity prized in fine antiques. Flanking columns, delicate floral blocks, and the overall gilt finish underscore the mirror’s neoclassical influence, evoking the grandeur of Regency and Federal interiors.

Perfect in scale at 23” wide × 37” high, this mirror is well-suited for placement above a console, mantel, or as a focal point in a layered gallery wall. Its classical form and time-softened surfaces make it a versatile statement piece for both traditional and contemporary settings.
