Tilting dressing mirror, Napoleon III style, gilded bronze and brass – France, second half of the 19th century

Description
A true Rococo-inspired vanity accessory in the Napoleon III style, this piece is distinguished by the richness and finesse of its ornamental details.

The mirror rests on an elaborately carved pedestal, finely chased, allowing adjustable orientation thanks to its two side pivots.
