About the Item

A striking late 19th century Chinoiserie black lacquer dressing mirror, this fine example is as much an art object as it is a functional piece. The frame is adorned with delicately hand-painted gilt figural scenes and architectural motifs across the crest, base, and sides—classic hallmarks of European fascination with East Asian design during the Victorian era. The mirror itself is framed in a beveled edge and pivots on turned supports topped with finials, adding dimension and sculptural presence. The painted decoration along the base includes pavilions, bridges, and landscape elements, all rendered in ochre tones that stand out beautifully against the rich black lacquer. The base includes a single drawer fitted with two round knobs, adding discreet storage while visually anchoring the piece. In nice antique condition with expected wear to the lacquer and gilt consistent with age and use, this mirror remains a captivating statement piece. Ideal for use atop a dresser or vanity, it offers elegance, exoticism, and historic craftsmanship in equal measure. 28h x 18w x 8d
