19th century floor to ceiling French gilt standing mirror circa 1860

A wonderful Louis-XV style (Rocaille) revival mirror circa 1850–1880 with hand-carved giltwood and a finely scrolled, acanthus-leaf crest and flanking volutes. The original mercury-silver mirror plate may have been re-silvered or replaced, probably late 1800s. A full-height cheval mirror, designed to tilt on its pair of turned side supports. Typical of Parisian ateliers catering to the growing 19th century bourgeois market for elegant “dressing” furniture. Moderate wear to the gilt (notably at the base rail), some gilt loss around high points of carving. Structurally sound.
