20th Century French Sunburst Mirror Circa 1900

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
This striking early 20th-century French sunburst mirror is a stunning example of industrial-era craftsmanship, blending the elegance of classical Louis XIV-inspired design with the strength and durability of hand-forged metal. Featuring an intricate radial pattern of fluted metal rays, this piece embodies the timeless appeal of sunburst motifs, historically associated with the grandeur of the French monarchy and celestial symbolism.

Unlike traditional gilded wood versions, this mirror showcases a beautifully aged metal patina, giving it a raw, rustic character that enhances its antique appeal. The central convex mirror further accentuates its vintage aesthetic, adding depth and reflection while capturing ambient light in a dynamic way. The layered, three-dimensional sunburst frame exhibits expert metalworking techniques, with each ray meticulously shaped and finished for a bold yet elegant silhouette.

Likely originating from France circa 1900, this piece reflects the transitional period where decorative elements embraced both classical and industrial influences. Its weathered metal finish lends itself beautifully to interiors ranging from French country and Art Deco to eclectic and industrial loft spaces.

This rare and distinctive metal sunburst mirror is a timeless decorative object, seamlessly blending historic French artistry with a bold, industrial edge—a perfect addition to any sophisticated space.
