AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A refined oriental-style dressing mirror, made in the second half of the 20th century, characterized by rich decoration and a strong aesthetic impact.

The mirror frame is made of finely worked silvered metal with raised relief, featuring floral and foliate motifs and decorative elements in turquoise, which give depth and contrast to the composition. The back is also decorated, confirming the piece’s artisanal craftsmanship.

The carved handle, with figurative motifs and a marbled surface, is made of an unidentified material and helps to make the object particularly evocative and decorative.
The mirror retains its original glass and is accompanied by the original box lined with decorated paper, complete with the manufacturer's label indicating “Made in China,” typical of Asian production intended for export at the time.

An ideal piece for collectors of decorative curiosities, vintage vanity objects, or for displays in the Wunderkammer/Camera delle Meraviglie style, where form, symbolism, and craftsmanship converse in harmonious dialogue.
Good overall condition, with normal signs of wear and aging consistent with its age.
The original box shows signs of use and wear, with pen marks, and is suitable for long-term preservation.
The mirror is intact.
