A vintage shield-shape wall mirror with prominent French provincial style.
The frame is heavily embellished with a large classical scallop shell (or coquille) crest at the top, accented by scrolling acanthus leaves and anchored by a smaller shell motif at the bottom.
The frame showcases a two-tone colour scene blending a distressed, crackled off-white lacquered finish on the flat panels with a smoother gold painted finish on the trim and soft green-yellow accents.
Mirrors of this aesthetic were popularised during the mid-20th century revival period and designed to add dramatic, classical european elegance to entryways.
