About the Item

Charming gilded bronze hand mirror, finely chiselled, dating from the Napoléon III period (circa 1860–1880). Its relief decoration features Harlequin and the moon, surrounded by naturalistic elements and stylised figures typical of the romantic imagination of the 19th century. The original bevelled mirror shows a lovely wear from age, adding to its charm as an antique object. A decorative and fanciful piece of bronze work, evocative of the elegant lifestyle of the Napoleon III Period. A rare and poetic object, perfect for a dressing table, a collector’s display cabinet or a boudoir décor. Good overall condition with a beautiful old patina.
