Lot 439 , A French giltwood and gesso cartouche shaped wall mirror, W.3ft 9in. H.3ft

A French giltwood and gesso cartouche shaped wall mirror, with scroll crest, W.3ft 9in. H.3ft
Estimate £500-800

Overall good honest condition. Gilding has a slightly matted finish and is rubbed around the main outer body of the frame (essentially in the gaps between the scroll work). There are a few old cracks notably in the bottom scallop motif and the scroll to the left of it. Plate looks original with blooming and oxidisation in the silvering. Back is boarded.
