Louis XV Mirror – Giltwood Frame – Late 18ᵗʰ Century – South of France

Fantasy shines in this Louis XV mirror thanks to the emergence of the Rocaille style. Its particularity, breaking with symmetry, is particularly visible in the escalation of very different acanthus leaves on either side of the summit medallion.

The rinceaux inspired by plant forms climbs from the feet to the pediment.
As a final point, at the base, a pretty Saint Jacques shell calmly connects the whole.

On the pediment, the Rocaille style frees up ornamentation, asymmetrical and vegetal in abundance.
