Item Details

A fine Louis XIV period gilt wood and verre églomisé mirror,
with the original rectangular bevelled plate enclosed by Chinoiserie decorated verre églomisé outer borders and arched pediment, surmounted by feathered cresting issuing acanthus leaf trials and stepped foliate scrolls, with foliate shoulder volutes.


verre églomisé is named after Jean-Baptist Glomy, a French 18th Century frame maker to Louis XVI, who used the technique extensively to embellish framed prints and to decorate mirrors and trumeaux for Marie-Antoinette.
Although some of the finest work was carried out in the 18th and 19th centuries, it is much older, with early examples of Eglomise glass decorated bowls from a tomb in Italy, dating from the third century B.C.
