Elegant 19th century Swedish gilt-lead mounted verre églomisé mirror, in the taste of Burchardt Precht. The rectangular mirror is framed with rich red reverse-painted glass panels decorated with elaborate gilt scrolling foliage, floral ornament, and finely detailed neoclassical-style borders.
The architectural pediment is especially decorative, centered by an oval mirror medallion and crowned with a gilt urn-form basket of flowers. Two additional floral basket finials flank the crest, with garland and scroll details adding height and grandeur to the overall form.
The combination of red verre églomisé, gilt-lead mounts, floral baskets, and scrolling ornament gives the mirror a refined Swedish Baroque / Gustavian decorative character. It would make a strong statement in an entry, dining room, powder room, library, salon, or above a console.
