The rectangular form is completely encased in a naturalistic iron vine motif, with layered blossoms in varying stages of bloom—each petal individually shaped and curled, creating remarkable depth and shadow.

The iron retains its beautifully aged surface with warm brown oxidation, areas of verdigris, and traces of original gilded highlights that catch the light along the petals and leaves. The patina is authentic and untouched, giving the piece a romantic, old-world presence.

The mirror plate is original and heavily foxed, with dramatic silver loss and atmospheric mottling throughout. The surface reads almost like a moody abstract painting—softly reflective yet richly textured—making it as much decorative art as functional mirror. The foxing is consistent across the plate and adds to the piece’s undeniable character. See less
