AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Oval wall mirror in gilt bronze. Decor of mascarons, knot, putti and flowering branches, the top adorned with putti around a fleur-de-lis - Napoléon III era - Height 39 cm
Authentic antique mirror from the late 19th century Napoléon III / Belle Époque, around 1880/1900, in the Neo-Renaissance / Louis XVI style.
Rich oval frame in cast bronze and chiseled finish, offering a warm old patina.
- Frieze: Royal crown framed by two seated cherubs, resting on a ribbon knot and floral garlands
- Sides: Two other standing cherubs leaning against stylized foliage surrounding the glass.
- Base: Carved mascaron surrounded by volutes and laurel branches.
- Glass: Original oval mirror with a beveled edge
- Back: The rear is closed with its original oval plaque held by six small pins. Note, the back shows traces of an old central hinge, indicating that this mirror was initially designed as a dressing-table mirror to be laid down. It has its original integrated wall-hanging system embedded in the mass at the back of the upper crown.
Good overall condition considering its age. Small alterations to the mercury mirror coating.
Careful packaging and fast shipping.
