Description from the seller

This Napoleon III style mirror, made of dark wood with brass and ceramic decoration, is a mid-20th-century decorative piece that evokes the refinement of the French Second Empire. Its rectangular frame features rich gilded brass ornamentation, especially on the inner edge, with vegetal motifs and arabesques that add shine and sophistication.

At the top and bottom center of the frame, brass applications in the form of cartouches or medallions stand out, while each corner features circular elements of enamelled ceramic, possibly hand-painted, adding color and artistic detail. The combination of materials—wood, metal, and ceramic—reflects the eclectic influence of the Napoleon III style, characterized by its taste for opulence and the mixing of decorative techniques.

This well-preserved mirror not only serves a practical function but also acts as a focal point in classic interiors, adding character and elegance to any room.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
