Louis XVI Style Oval Wall Mirror with Ribbon Bow Crest, Gilt Gesso Frame

Annihilate the landfill, reflect on timeless French elegance instead of flat-pack forgettables

This is the mirror that belonged above a marble-topped console in a Brattle Street foyer, and it knows it. A classic Louis XVI revival piece, likely mid-20th century, featuring a graceful oval form with reeded gilt gesso frame and that signature ribbon bow cartouche crowning the top. The gilding shows warm patina with subtle wear consistent with age—nothing that diminishes its presence. Mirror glass is clear and bright, no foxing or cloudiness. Ready to elevate any entryway, powder room, or bedroom.

The D'Beetle Difference • Ribbon Bow Crest Detail: Cast gesso ribbon bow with flowing tails, the quintessential Louis XVI decorative motif. Gilding intact with attractive aged patina.

• Elegant Reeded Frame: Continuous fluted/reeded detail around the oval perimeter. Appears approximately 28-30" tall including crest, roughly 18-20" wide.

• Clear Original Mirror Glass: No foxing, chips, or desilvering visible. Properly reflective and ready for another century of use.
