Vintage French Rococo Style Mirrored Centrepiece - Vtg Depose Louis XV

Vintage French Rococo Style Mirrored Centrepiece - Vtg Depose Louis XV Mirrored plateaus, also known as mirrored trays or centrepieces, gained popularity during the 18th century, particularly in France, as decorative elements for tables and consoles. They were designed to reflect candlelight, thereby enhancing the ambiance of a room, and to display fine china, silverware, or other decorative objects. This particular plateau exhibits characteristics of the Rococo revival or Neo-Rococo styles that were prevalent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, drawing inspiration from the original Rococo period of Louis XV. The "L.X.V." stamp reinforces this connection. Such pieces were often crafted from various materials, including gilt bronze, silver plate, or pewter, and were intended to add a touch of opulence and sophistication to interiors. They served both a functional purpose for serving or display and an aesthetic purpose as a statement decorative item.
