Antique 19th C French Giltwood Mirror, Neoclassical with Classical Harp Relief

19th Century French Giltwood Neoclassical Mirror with Harp Relief
A refined 19th-century French giltwood mirror in the neoclassical style, featuring a rectangular frame surmounted by a gilt relief panel. The relief depicts a seated classical figure playing the harp, flanked by an urn on a pedestal to the left and a basket of flowers to the right — allegories of harmony, beauty, and abundance. The mirror plate is set within a molded gilt frame supported by two engaged columns with simple capitals and bases, lending architectural balance to the design.
The gilding retains a mellow, time-softened patina, with minor wear consistent with age, enhancing the mirror’s antique character. Decorative yet intimate in scale, this mirror reflects the 19th-century French taste for neoclassical revival furnishings inspired by the Louis XVI tradition, blending mythological motifs with elegant symmetry.
