Large mirror with pediment adorned with a trophy of arms: spears, flags, lictor beams. In the center are the attributes of Hercules, a lion's head and a club beneath a helmet. This symbolism of strength refers to the 12 labors of Hercules. It was during the first of these, the hunt for the Nemean lion, that Hercules acquired his main attributes: the club carved from the trunk of a wild olive tree and the leonté, the lion's skin. Carved and gilded with gold leaf, flanked by laurel and foliage, our mirror is a Provencal or Rhone Valley work of the Louis XVI period (late 18th century).
Our mirror is complete, with a rich and beautiful Louis XVI - finely carved decoration and its mercury mirror is the original one. It is typical of the light elegance of 18th-century Provence, where Italian influences can be felt despite the very French style. A large, highly decorative piece in good condition. The gold leaf gilding is the original 18th-century gilding, which has been cleaned by our gilder. The mercury glaze is also the original, with a slightly stained tint. We have chosen to keep it as it is for its charm, but are able to have it replaced by another mercury sheen on request.
