Small mid-19th century French Louis-Philippe period (1830-48) archtop mirror with etched banded frame and beaded sight edge. Where this mirror has been cleaned for almost 200 years, the gilding has almost completely disappeared leaving the soft terracotta and cream coloured bole and gesso. The original mercury glass has gentle age but the mirror still gives a fair reflection.
