Set of Two 19th C Petite French Gilt Rouge Louis Philippe Mirrors
Petite French Louis Philippe Gems - A Rare Pair
Small antique French mirrors are a bit like truffles in the wild—you know they’re out there, but they don’t give themselves up easily. Louis Philippe mirrors in particular tend to favour grand proportions, happily presiding over 19th-century mantelpieces. So when a petite example appears, it’s already a small victory. When two (almost) perfectly matched ones turn up… that’s when it becomes something quite interesting.
This elegant pair offers exactly what so many interiors quietly crave: balance. Perfect for a bathroom with double basins, where symmetry brings calm and clarity, yet equally compelling in a hallway hung opposite one another—creating that subtle, almost theatrical sense of depth and reflection.
Each frame still wears its original warm gilt like a well-loved heirloom: softly glowing, gently worn, and rich with patina. The signature rounded corners lend that unmistakable Louis Philippe silhouette—timeless, unfussy, and effortlessly at home in both classic and contemporary settings.
The mirror plates show gentle foxing, adding just the right layer of antique atmosphere, yet remain clear enough for everyday use—an important detail that makes them as practical as they are beautiful, particularly in a bathroom setting. The wooden backboards are intact, and the overall condition is very good, with only the kind of wear that tells a story rather than detracts from it.
A rare and quietly striking pair—designed by time, and perfectly suited to bring harmony and character into a space.

All of our vintage products show the rich beauty and history of their life with the knocks and bumps of many years of use. We restore our pieces so they will be clean and in a good working condition. However we try to minimise restoration to keep every piece as original as possible.
