AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Step into the enchanting world of ancient Burma with this extremely rare Mandalay from the early 19th century. This masterpiece, born in the workshops of the Konbaung dynasty, features a richly hand-carved frame fully covered with pure 24-karat gold leaf. Symmetrical lotus flowers and elegant acanthus leaves dance across the wood, inspired by sacred betel boxes and temple altars – symbols of prosperity, spiritual purification, and timeless elegance.
The pointed crown evokes the pagoda spires of Mandalay, while the clear, antique mirror glass casts a soft, nostalgic glow that doubles any space with warmth and mystique. With a subtle patina whispering centuries of stories, this is no ordinary mirror but a unique heirloom that captures light and shadow like a temple window at sunset. Perfect as a conversation piece above a console, in a meditation corner, or as the exotic heart of your interior.
Bring a touch of royal splendor and Burmese heritage into your home – a rare jewel that transforms your space from ordinary to breathtaking.
