MIRROR BEARING THE COAT-OF-ARMS OF THE FRENCH ROYAL FAMILY,
Gilding, rubbed, minor losses and restorations. Mirror glass, later.
The mirror on offer probably originally served as a frame for a royal portrait. This assumption is based on several comparable mirrors, all of which served as picture frames. These comparable pieces often show a cartouche with the French coat-of-arms, which clearly indicates a royal function. As an example of such a royal frame, a copy from the Collections of Mr. and Mrs. Wrightsman from their residence in Palm Beach can be cited, which was sold at Christie's New York on 24 May 2000, (Lot No. 210).
