The mirror is crowned by an exceptional, highly architectural openwork cresting centered on an oval cartouche with a molded flower drop, flanked by two beautifully preserved winged griffins that gracefully dissolve into scrolling acanthus foliage. Structurally stable and retaining its original paneled timber backboards, the frame exhibits a wonderfully distressed parcel-gilt and cream wash patina, with typical, age-appropriate hairline cracks along the miter joints. The original 19th-century glass plates show a highly desirable, authentic misted tarnish and scattered mercury foxing across the margins, perfectly preserving its aristocratic period charm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-subtree=\"aimfl\" data-processed=\"true\"\u003eSize : 156cm x 96cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStock No : SG-M200\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SIEZ Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57684976501109,"sku":null,"price":2250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/6102\/0277\/files\/IMG_2985.jpg?v=1794428184","url":"https:\/\/siezgallery.com\/products\/19th-century-french-napoleon-iii-giltwood-and-composition-parclose-mirror","provider":"SIEZ Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
