AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Set of 3 Rococo Table Mirrors / Frames – Napoleon III Period

For sale: a magnificent set of three table mirrors (or freestanding frames) in the Louis XV / Rococo style, dating from the late 19th century (Napoleon III period). A highly decorative set.
The set consists of:
• 1 large central mirror in gilt bronze: very fine, high-quality chasing, with scrollwork and rocaille decoration.
• 2 frames/mirrors in patinated spelter (top and bottom): beautiful matching molded decoration, forming a perfect accompanying pair.
The mirror in the bronze frame does not appear to be original; when viewed closely, a gap can be seen between the mirror and the frame. The other two were used as photo frames. Overall condition is fair, with signs of repairs, worn gilding, and other imperfections, but it remains a very pleasing set to look at.
