Mirror- Cornucopia - 140 cm - Gilt bronze - Louis XV

It is a grand mirror, a Luis XV-style cornucopia, a piece of gilded brass that, at 140 cm tall, assertively stands as a truly theatrical object, heir to the 19th-century French ornamental tradition. Its silhouette, sinuous and enveloping, responds to the Rococo vocabulary: intertwining curves, volutes that emerge from the frame, and a sense of continuous movement that makes the mirror look almost alive, breathing light and reflection. The gilded brass, generously worked, provides that warm gleam reminiscent of antique fire-gilding, though here reinterpreted with the industrial and artisanal techniques of the 19th century. The surface shows vegetal reliefs, small flowers, scrolls and cartouches that unfold gracefully, creating a visual rhythm that rises from the base to the crown. The latter, more theatrical, acts as a stylistic signature: an ornament that evokes the cornucopia, a symbol of abundance and fantasy, very present in the historicist reinterpretations of Louis XV. The shape of the mirror, slightly curved and adapted to the frame, reinforces the feeling of a noble piece, designed to occupy a central place in salons, reception rooms, or period bedrooms. Its size — imposing without being excessive — allows it to function both as a decorative object and as an architectural element, widening the space and bringing luminosity. Overall, it is a mirror that combines late Rococo, 19th-century metalwork, and an elegant presence that remains magnetically appealing. Certified shipping and good packaging.
