Description from the seller
Splendid Vanity Mirror or Curved-Front Table with a frame in 950 silver featuring daisy motifs and rosewood, beveled glass signed A.AUCOC for André AUCOC, Minerve 1st title mark bottom right and maker's mark on the back A.AUCOC, 5 Rue De La Paix (Paris) in a centered cartouche
we also find the André AUCOC mark (two A’s separated by a spear surmounted by a rooster) which allows us to precisely date this marvel to the years 1887/1911
impressive dimensions: 50 cm tall and 36 cm wide, weighing about 4.5 kg
Famous AUCOC House, the Aucoc family business, located at 6 Rue de la Paix, was founded in Paris in 1821 by Louis Aucoc senior, joined by his sons Louis Ainé and André. It was protected by the houses of King Louis-Philippe, the House of Orléans, Napoleon III, and Empress Eugénie. 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 prominent figures in the Art Nouveau movement.
The company left the Aucoc family’s hands in 1932
Today I offer you the opportunity to bid on an exceptional piece, and in 950 silver besides, this artwork will surely appeal to collectors, but also to investors,
Note a few signs of use and a small chip inside the mirror
Coming from a Luxury auction, I can, if you wish, provide more information on its provenance, family, etc.
Happy bidding to all
