Large and wide 19th century French archtop mirror, circa 1880, with an etched gilt frame decorated with curling stems and vine leaves and a beaded sight edge.  Where this mirror has been dusted for more than a century, the gilding has thinned in places revealing the terracotta bole beneath, giving the mirror frame a warm glow and the etched design more definition. The original glass is in very good condition and gives an excellent reflection.  This mirror would make a beautiful, classic, overmantel.
