Vintage Mirror With Gold Leaf; Italian Rococo, Slight Gilding & Pastel Colors, Decorative Wall Decor, Available As A Pair, 20Th Century

This pair of Italian mirrors are Rococo in style, & were made in the late 20th century. The pieces feature slight gilding, & a pastel color palette. The rectangular base is curved at the top, & the center panel is inset with a side panel mirroring the outer curve. The Rococo style is evident in the hand carving, scroll work, & pastel colors, giving the mirrors a beautiful theatrical feel. The price is per mirror, but the set is also available as a pair. This antique mirror comes from a collection of a fourth generation, family owned business in New Orleans called The French Antique Shop. The store was first opened by Marie & Marcel Granet in Paris when they married in 1927. A jewish family, they came to the United States before the outbreak of the Second World War, leaving on the last boat out of Paris' port, Le Havre. When they reached New Orleans, they fell in love with the Vieux Carre as it reminded them of home. Their first shop here in New Orleans was located on Chartres Street in the French Quarter & was stocked originally with pieces they had brought with them from Paris. They moved to Royal Street & settled in their present expanded location at 225 Royal Street in 1947. Today, the shop is run by the third & fourth generation, Marc, & his two sons Michael & Brian. By purchasing from our shop, you're supporting a family run business which focuses on artisan made, high quality craft with an emphasis on quality. Thank you for helping us continue a dream started four generations ago!
