Large Rococo Style Floor Mirror, Windsor Art & Mirror Company

Seven and a half feet of acanthus, and your reflection is the least of it.

This large Rococo style floor mirror is by Windsor Art & Mirror Company, from the United States, in gilded wood. Rococo, the playful 18th century taste for curling leaves and asymmetry, has been revived many times, and big mirrors in that manner were made to brighten rooms and make them feel larger. Pierced acanthus scrolls climb the wide frame and rise to a crest at the top, with gilding on the crest and along the inner edge. The rest of the surface reads pale and chalky, with fine textured hatching. Ninety inches high, 59 across.

Nobody has ever hung this by accident.
