Description from the seller

Large model Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) table mirror.
This model was originally named "The First Cuckoo".
The most common ones are made of metal/tin. The frame appears to be made of ebonite. Matte dark appearance. The glass mirror has a weathered spot. An old repair on the right front leg. This appears to be glued and secured with a metal plate on the back. Not really noticeable if you don’t know. The woman’s pinky is missing. Two small chips in the frame along the bottom edge of the mirror and on the leg. See the last 5 close-up photos for this.
Back finished with green velvet. The stand is made of wood.
Gorgeous mirror.

Dimensions approximately:
Height: 35 cm
Width: 27 cm
Depth (standing): 24 cm
Weight: 960 grams (0.96 kg)
