AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid Dressing Table Mirror or Table with a bowed front, featuring a 950 silver frame and centered mahogany wood with a scroll, beveled glass signed A.AUCOC for André AUCOC, with a Minerve 1st title hallmark at the bottom right and a mark on the reverse A.AUCOC 5 Rue De La Paix (Paris) in a centered cartouche.
We also find the André AUCOC hallmark (two A’s separated by a spear topped by a rooster), which allows us to date this marvel precisely to the years 1887–1911.
Impressive dimensions: 52.5 cm in height and 37.5 cm in width, with a weight of about 5.800 kg.
Famous AUCOC House, the Aucoc family business, located at 6 rue de la Paix, was founded in Paris in 1821 by Louis Aucoc père, joined by his sons Louis Aîné and André. It was protected by the houses of King Louis-Philippe, the House of Orléans, Napoleon III, and Empress Eugenie. The shop is mentioned in the first chapter of La Dame aux Camélias (published in 1848).
Henri Vever as well as René Lalique were apprentices of Aucoc. Lalique and Vever would later become leading figures in the Art Nouveau movement.
The company left the Aucoc family’s hands in 1932.
Coming from a luxury auction sale, I can provide more information about provenance, family, etc., if you wish.
Today I offer you the opportunity to bid on a piece of exceptional quality, and even more so in 950 silver, this work will surely interest collectors, but also investors.
Note a few signs of wear and use.
Good luck with your bids, everyone.
Given the weight and fragility of this marvel, SMART SHIPPING will be the approach for this auction to best protect the interests of both parties (shipping costs + insured).
As with all my items put up for auction on this site, this marvel has undergone no cleaning (just dusting) and no modification since purchase.
Please look carefully at the photos, which form part of the description. Any damage not mentioned in the text but visible in the photos is considered described.
No shipping outside the EU; if you are outside the European Union you may bid on one of my lots, but no claims will be possible in case of transport problems. Given the new import/export regulations to the USA, there will be no shipment to that country.
Professional, careful shipping, with signature and insurance.
Seller's Story
Passionate about flea markets, and antiques of all kinds since my childhood, I was already selling on this site as an individual, the joy and kindness of the buyers made me understand that it was the right time to get started in my small business, I pay particular attention to the lots offered in order to be able to satisfy you, all my objects benefit from a very light cleaning and no restoration so that you can judge for yourself their quality and condition, so good auction to all and see you soon I hope
