19th Century Gilt Biedermeier Wall Mirror, handcarved, Austria circa 1850

Description
Noble 19th century gilt wall mirror from the renowed Biedermeier period in Austria. This beautiful antique wall mirror was elaborately handcarved around 1850 and impresses with its detailed framework showing artfully created floral designs with delicate tendrils and flowers. This amazing looking masterpiece of a Biedermeier mirror comes with a partly bronzed and partly gold leaf plated surface. You can see the overlapping of the different gold leaves as well as the red so-called "bolus" (= primer for gilding) partly shining through which confers this incredible Biedermeier mirror a really unqiue charme. The mirror glass has been renewed during the cleaning/restoration process. On the backside you have a small ring making wall mounting easy.
