This glazed mirror, dating from the mid-19th century, is a magnificent example of the decorative art of Napoleon III's reign.
Made of gilded wood, it embodies the elegance and refinement of the period.
The mirrors are made of mercury, a common technique before the invention of modern mirrors, which are less precious and of lower quality.
The central mirror is beveled and framed by a frieze of carved foliage, adding a touch of sophistication.
The outer mirrors are adorned with openwork scrolls and shells, creating a harmonious visual effect.
The whole is surrounded by identical decorations, ensuring aesthetic coherence.
The pediment is soberly molded and sculpted, providing an elegant finish without being ostentatious.
This mirror is not only a functional object, but also a work of art, reflecting the taste and craftsmanship of the Napoleon III period.
