Description from the seller

Elegant Art Nouveau Vanity Mirror with Sculptural Female Figure – Cast Bronze/Brass

An elegant French Art Nouveau dressing table mirror.

The mirror features a beautifully modelled female figure integrated into the frame, executed in the flowing organic lines that characterise the Art Nouveau movement. The figure and frame are cast as one piece, demonstrating high-quality decorative metalwork with refined detailing throughout the drapery, hair and frame ornamentation.

The original easel support remains present on the reverse together with the original folding stand, allowing the mirror to be displayed securely on a dressing table, desk or console.

The mirror glass is complete and remains in good vintage condition with only light signs of age consistent with its period.

The frame displays a warm antique bronze/brass patina that enhances the sculptural quality of the piece.

An excellent decorative object suitable for both Art Nouveau and Art Deco interiors.

Condition:
Very good antique condition with normal wear and patina consistent with age. Please study the photographs carefully as they form part of the description.

Approximate period:
1900–1920

Origin:
France

Material:
Cast bronze or cast brass (exact alloy not tested)

Style:
Art Nouveau

Display:
Freestanding folding easel

Among the decorative arts of the Belle Époque, table mirrors incorporating sculptural female figures remain some of the most desirable pieces. Unlike later reproductions, this example displays the elegant flowing asymmetry, integrated casting and organic movement typical of authentic French Art Nouveau design.

The sculpted figure merges naturally into the frame, creating a harmonious composition rather than simply decorating it. The original rear easel support further enhances its collectability, as these are frequently lost or replaced over time.

Pieces of this type are increasingly appreciated by collectors seeking authentic early twentieth-century decorative arts, especially when preserved with their original patina and functional mirror.

Whether displayed on a dressing table, console or within a dedicated Art Nouveau collection, it offers both sculptural presence and practical function.
