Description

Louis XVI period mirror. Late 18th century. In carved and gilded wood, it is topped with a pediment with openwork patterns of foliage scrolls, pompoms, pine cones and topped with a laurel wreath. The center is decorated with a medallion with revolutionary attributes resting on an entablature and surrounded by olive branches. The revolutionary attributes present are composed of two flags and a lictor's fasces (long, thin branches tied around an axe by straps. In ancient Rome, the fasces was carried by lictors, officers in the service of the Magistrates and whose sentences they executed. The French Revolution reinterpreted this symbol: the fasces now represents the union and strength of French citizens gathered to defend Liberty). The decoration is completed on the shoulder by sheaves of wheat. The frame molding is decorated with a row of pearls and hearts. Original mirror with mercury stain. The parquet floor is also original. Please note: some very small losses and rework in the gilding.
Dimensions: L 80 x H 141 x D 4.5
