It is adorned with a complex and impressive pediment, with a large mercury mirror surrounded by four smaller mirrors. These show slight oxidation, creating subtle stains that add a touch of charm and nostalgia to the object.
At the top, winged cherubs bring an angelic and delicate note, surrounded by scrolls, which accentuates the elegance and richness of the design. The aged gilding, thanks to the passage of time, gives the mirror a unique character and a sumptuous patina, which makes it a piece full of refinement and charm. Such a mirror perfectly embodies the style and opulence of the late 19th century, while bringing a touch of nostalgia and timeless beauty. See less
