A Girandole Mirror
is an ornate wall mirror, typically dating from the 18th or early 19th century, distinguished by its decorative giltwood frame and often accompanied by one or more candle branches projecting from its base or sides. Designed to combine function with elegance, the candle arms reflected light back into the room through the mirror, enhancing both brightness and atmosphere. Popular in Georgian and Regency interiors, girandole mirrors were crafted in a variety of shapes—most commonly circular or oval—and richly embellished with motifs such as scrolls, foliage, or classical figures, making them both practical and decorative focal points.
