£12,000
Of cushion mirror form, the walnut frame with marquetry decoration in the late Renaissance manner, with raised slip frames around later 19th Century Mirror plate

Some Louis XIV furniture is called 'Protestant' or 'Huguenot' because the production (circa 1680-1690) was tied to Protestant cabinetmakers working in southern France, such as in Languedoc and Dauphiné, particularly after the 1685 Edict of Fontainebleau, which forced many Huguenots into exile
