This mirror has a classic & elegant look, featuring an arched top & a gold-toned, ornately carved frame. The ornate pattern & gold finish are characteristic of mirrors from the 18th - 19th centuries, especially those designed in the Louis XVI style. 

During the Neoclassical era, interior design emphasized symmetry, balance, and the incorporation of classical architectural elements. Tall mirrors with arched tops were popular for their ability to reflect light and create a sense of spaciousness.

The arched form directly references classical arches found in Roman and Greek architecture, reflecting the broader artistic and intellectual interest in antiquity during this period.
