About the Item
An exquisite Italian table mirror of remarkable refinement, executed in finely cast and hand-finished brass, and attributable by style and craftsmanship to an Italian noble commission of the late 19th to early 20th century, likely within the late Liberty / Belle Époque tradition.
The mirror is defined by its asymmetrical, organic silhouette, framed by an elaborate openwork brass border enriched with scrolling foliage, floral motifs, and pierced cartouches. The sinuous lines and vegetal ornamentation reflect the lingering influence of Art Nouveau aesthetics, interpreted here with a distinctly Italian sensibility—more sculptural and architectural than its French counterparts.
The brass surface displays a deep, warm patina developed naturally over time, enhancing the relief of the decoration and attesting to the quality of the original casting. The mirror plate is housed within a finely profiled inner bezel and supported by an elegant adjustable brass arm with a locking mechanism, allowing the mirror to tilt smoothly while maintaining perfect stability.
The base is substantial and beautifully worked, echoing the ornamental language of the frame with dense scrolling reliefs and a softly contoured outline. Its generous weight ensures balance and presence, reinforcing the impression of an object conceived not for mass production but for a distinguished interior.
The reverse retains its original red velvet backing, secured with period hardware, further confirming the mirror’s authenticity and high level of manufacture. Every detail—from the pierced crest to the sculpted joints and engraved base—speaks to exceptional artisanal skill and an origin tied to aristocratic or upper-bourgeois patronage.
A highly decorative yet functional object, ideal for a dressing table, vanity, or curated display, this mirror brings timeless elegance and historical character to refined interiors.
