An exquisite vintage French-style oval mirror surrounded by delicate gilt brass filigree, finished with elaborate floral, foliage and ribbon ornamentation at the top and base.
The incredibly fine pierced border gives the mirror an almost lace-like quality, while the sculptural gilt embellishments recall the romantic decorative arts of 18th-century France and the Louis XVI tradition. A beautifully detailed beaded inner border frames the original-looking mirror plate.
Designed to be equally lovely displayed as a small wall mirror or laid flat as a vanity tray, it is particularly beautiful styled with antique perfume bottles, jewelry, candles or collected objects.
The gilt finish has developed subtle variations and areas of patina with age, lending the piece the warmth and character that only comes with a genuinely vintage object. The mirror glass shows light age-related wear and surface marks visible upon close inspection.
