18th Century Polychrome Pedimented Mirror

This is a wonderful 18th century mirror with its original glass, most probably from France or Italy.  Painted in black and green with beautiful gilding on the frame and the upper and lower scrolls, with a white painted cartouche on the pediment. There is faint evidence of old lettering on the cartouche, which makes us speculate it may have hung in an ecclesiastical setting, or in the home of a prominent family.
The glass shows mottling and losses appropriate to its age.
A mirror of beautiful proportions and gorgeous patina.
Solid and in good condition, with scuffs and scratches commensurate with age.
