French Trompe L'oeil Rococo Overmantel Mirror

40”H x 68”W

This exquisite Rococo mirror features a pierced, polychromed cabochon crest sitting atop an arched, interwoven lattice-framed mirror. Surrounding the reflective surface are elegant acanthus leaves and 'C' scrolls, all resting on an intricately designed foliated base.

The mirror is overall structurally sound, showing scattered minor paint losses, chips, nicks, and abrasions typical with age and usage. There is one notable hairline crack in the aged mirror , but adds to the vintage aspect of the piece.

French Baroque art and architecture, renowned for popularizing the trompe l'oeil technique— "trick the eye"— highlights this mirror’s ability to create realistically captivating optical illusions. The style has historic roots, traceable to ancient Greek and Roman artistry.
