Antique French Carved Wood Art or Mirror Frame No. 01 *Originally $1,400*


A French carved wood art or mirror frame from the 19th Century, distinguished by its elaborate floral ornamentation and richly aged finish.

The rectangular frame is defined by a continuous arrangement of carved flowers, scrolling foliage, and curling acanthus leaves. Deeply sculpted reliefs create a rhythmic pattern along each side, with larger floral motifs anchoring the corners and smaller botanical details filling the spaces between. A narrow inner border of repeating geometric carvings introduces structure against the movement of the surrounding ornamentation.

The original painted and gilded finish has developed a layered patina, revealing warm tones of ochre, muted gold, ivory, and exposed wood beneath. Areas of wear, surface cracking, and softened edges emphasize the depth of the carving, allowing light and shadow to settle into the intricate details.

The reverse retains old paper labels, including one from the French Salon d'Hiver, offering a glimpse into the frame's history.
