Description from the seller
Historicist Table Mirror in Cast Bronze – Late 19th Century.
Important table mirror (psiché) cast in bronze and chiselled, in the French historicist style of the late 19th century. Openwork frame with architectural detailing, richly decorated with volute motifs and Baroque-inspired floral elements. The crest (top) is capped by a sculpted cherub figure (putto), while the base features a striking classical mascaron flanked by turned feet. Metal tardoz with a retractable easel-style support.
Original period glass with slight natural wear in the nitrate finish, lending patina and authenticity to the piece.
Excellent overall condition, showing natural wear due to age and the original patina to be cleaned. Rear support mechanism is functional.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
