Important table mirror (psiché) cast in bronze and chiselled, in the French historicist style of the late 19th century.

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.

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.
