Vintage Round Convex Gilt Effect Mirror

This vintage round convex mirror with a gilt effect is housed in a frame made of gesso or plaster. Gesso is a mixture of glue and plaster that is applied to a wooden frame to create a smooth surface for painting or gilding. The gilt effect is achieved by applying a thin layer of gold leaf or gold paint to the surface of the frame, which gives it a shiny, reflective appearance. The convex shape of the mirror means that the glass surface is curved outward, which can create a distorted or magnified reflection depending on the angle of the viewer. Vintage mirrors like these are often prized for their unique and ornate designs, which can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any room. Dimensions: 11.5” x 1
