AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Important dressing mirror dating from around 1900.
Elegant wooden dressing mirror finely hand-carved in a Rococo taste.
The frame features a refined artisanal finish with a flowing, not perfectly symmetrical pattern, a distinctive element of the original production of the period.
The gilding is in 24-carat gold leaf, applied on traditional preparation, with charming signs of age that attest to its authenticity.
The mirror is a mercury-backed mirror, with oxidations and veils consistent with the ancient technique, which confer depth and a visual allure impossible to reproduce with modern productions.
The wood is intact. The piece presents itself as in need of restoration, yet maintaining its historical integrity and collectible value.
