Description from the seller
It is a tray that blends functionality and elegance with that unmistakable charm of Venetian objects from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The frame, worked in bronze, shows a sober yet distinguished design, with handles that extend the line of the ensemble and give it that aristocratic air so typical of pieces inspired by the Louis XVI taste: restrained curves, small hints of floral motifs, a classical harmony that does not need excess to stand out.
The mirror glass, clearly original to its era, preserves its antique character in every detail. The center is decorated with a delicate floral motif engraved, almost like lace suspended over the surface. In the corners, the adornments complement the composition without taking away from the central design. And, around it, the passage of time has left its mark: areas where the silver has faded, veils, small shadows that reveal the authentic age of the mirror. Far from being defects, they are the visible memory of the piece, what gives it soul.
The set breathes that Venetian refinement that blends visual lightness with a touch of theatricality, but also the ordered sobriety of the Louis XVI language. It is a tray that not only serves but also decorates; a piece that could have sat on a dressing table, in a salon, or on a dresser, reflecting perfumes, jewelry, or glasses in some elegant house more than a century ago.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
