“Autumn” Mirror in Gilded Wood, 18th Century
This large mirror, whose glazing beads are drawn by the stems of the vines that frame the mirror, was probably intended to decorate a living room and perhaps complete a series of the Four Seasons. Between these bunches of grapes and the flower basket that crowns the whole, all the iconographic vocabulary refers to the end of summer, to this nascent autumn during which the harvests and grape harvests are organized. Beautifully sized and in very good condition, this gilded wood mirror is a beautiful piece from the Louis XV period.
