French 19th Century Louis XVI Gold Leaf Bevelled Mirror With Inner Oval

This fantastic French Louis XVI mirror features true gold leafing and dates back to the 19th Century. The piece features a beautiful oval center with bevelled glass. The upper carvings show two doves on a wreath, one with a garland in foot, a flaming torch, and a set of arrows in a quiver. Each of these is a symbol in and of themselves; a pair of birds were depicted to symbolize love, and the flame and arrows were symbols of longevity and justice respectively. Venturing towards the bottom of the mirror, we see fantastic beading and a greek key design at the bottom corners.
