The mirror, completely veneered in mahogany feather, is equipped with a finely chiseled bronze frame, gilded with shiny parts and opaque parts, which surrounds the mercury mirror. In the upper frame there are bronze applications, two very fine rosettes on the sides with small chiseled oak leaves with bellflowers and the central anthemium motif. The construction is made of walnut. This quality of bronzes in Milan in those years can only be found in the Manfredini manufacture. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
