AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Spiegel plateau in rich Louis XV / Rococo style, executed with graceful, asymmetrical scroll and shell motifs. This type of plateau was originally used as a luxurious presentation object for perfume flacons, vases or table pieces, with the mirror reflecting the light and the objects beautifully.

The plateau features two decorative handles and rests on four raised feet, giving the whole piece a stately yet airy appearance. The frame is made of metal with a gold-tone finish (likely gilded bronze or brass). It is a heavy, substantial piece.

Marked on the underside:
“Déposé LXV N52”
• Déposé: registered French design (Modèle Déposé)
• LXV: reference to Louis XV style
• N52: model or catalog number

Date: ca. 1880–1900 (Louis XV revival period)
Origin: France

Dimensions:
• Length: ca. 36 cm
• Width: ca. 21.5 cm
• Height: ca. 4.5 cm

Condition:
In good vintage condition. Note: two of the four screws on the underside are missing (see photos of the underside). This is easy to remedy by placing new screws. The mirror has some age-related foxing.

Remark:
A beautiful decorative object, ideal for use on a vanity, as a centerpiece, or as a collectible for lovers of French antique and Rococo design.
