Table mirror - Glass, Brass, Bronze

Table mirror in pressed molded glass – Late 19th / early 20th century

Elegant table mirror made of molded pressed glass, of great decorative refinement, measuring 30 cm high and 19 cm wide.
The frame, richly carved, features an allegorical decoration with two female figures rendered in relief, with soft, naturalistic drapery, characteristic of the transition between the nascent Art Nouveau style and the Symbolist heritage of the late 19th century.

The central mirror, oval in shape, is bevelled, a revealing detail of a careful, high-quality production typical of decorative pieces from the late 19th century – the very beginning of the 20th century. It is accentuated by an elegant gilded surround with a pearl-dotted decoration, bringing contrast and refinement to the whole.

The pressed-mold glass technique, which was very fashionable at the time, as well as the decorative vocabulary used, point to a French or European production, probably originating from the great glassmaking centers of eastern France or Bohemia, renowned for this type of decorative objects intended for bourgeois interiors.

A highly charming decorative piece, both sculptural and functional, ideal for a vanity, a desk, or a display cabinet for a collection, this mirror bears witness to the refined taste of the Belle Époque and is a prized item for connoisseurs of antique decorative arts.
