Odette Collective

Green and Gilt Regency Mirror, England c. 1850

$2,450.00

A grand Regency statement, and Odette adores the green-and-gold drama. A deep bottle-green ground is layered with gilt ornament — leaf garlands down the sides, rosette blocks at the corners, and a projecting cornice crowned with gilded egg-and-dart. A row of gilt rosettes runs along the base for good measure. The dark green makes the gold positively glow, and the architectural cornice gives it real presence over a mantel or console. Formal, handsome, and unmistakably early-19th-century English.
