Includes original rear metal stand, functional and decorative, allowing stable display on a flat surface.

In good overall condition, with natural patina and signs of use consistent with age. Minor wear and marks that reinforce the authentic character of the piece.
Seller's Story
I am passionate about art, antiques, and decorative objects with historical and aesthetic value. I carefully select unique pieces for auction, prioritizing those that stand out for their originality, quality, and history.
I have a special affinity for antique mirrors inspired by the work of Alphonse Mucha, acquired from private collections and antique shops in Portugal and France. I also place great importance on pieces made of carved wood, especially in gilded relief, which represent the refinement and craftsmanship of classical decorative arts.
