AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique French oval mirror – Neo-Rococo / Napoleon III – richly decorated brass/copper frame
Particularly decorative oval mirror with a richly worked metal frame in an elegant Neo-Rococo / Napoleon III style.
The frame around is adorned with refined rocaille, volute, acanthus and leaf motifs. The decoration runs as a graceful openwork border around the mirror glass and is accentuated at the top and bottom by additional ornaments.
The combination of the oval mirror shape and the abundant ornament gives the piece a distinctly French antique appearance. The back is finished with wine-red velvet, which also provides a neat and decorative finish.
A characterful interior piece that looks especially handsome in a classic, romantic, eclectic or vintage interior.
