Louis Xiv-Style Black And Gold Mirror

The grandeur and refinement of Baroque decors at the court of Louis XIV is splendidly evoked by this superb mirror, a spot-on addition to classic decors one wants to accent with an extra dash of opulence. The fancy and luminous branches of acanthus leaves adorning the nitro-black-lacquered frame (hand-waxed Shellac) result from a painstaking carving process sealed by the application of precious gold leaf.
