AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Tabletop swiveling mirror in Neobarocco style - Mercury glass - Early 20th century
Rotating tabletop mirror (tilting vanity mirror) in Neobarocco style of Italian manufacture, dating from the early 20th century. The object features a solid frame in heavy metal alloy, decorated on the frame and on the circular base with scroll motifs and foliate reliefs. The original silver finish shows widespread wear due to time, exposing the golden hue of the metal underneath at the most prominent relief points. The glass pane is mercury-age and presents the typical dark speckling and oxidation of the amalgam. The back is upholstered in burgundy velvet, and the original assembly is held by countersunk slotted screws. The two side keys are perfectly functional and allow you to adjust and lock the tilt of the mirror.
Vetro: Mercury-era pane with alterations and aging spots consistent with age.
Finitura: Partially worn silvered surface with exposure of the underlying gold metal.
Base: Lower protective velvet partially detached but present.
Structural state: Solid structure and tilting mechanism functioning.
Weight: 4.595 g
Seller's Story
For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era.
Every piece I select has something that catches my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual aspect, or simply that detail that makes it unique.
I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen.
I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible.
Selling on this Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
