Antique Folding Triptych Mirror – Chiseled Brass & Courting Scene Panels, Late 19th Century
A beautiful antique folding triptych mirror, crafted in the late 19th century and rich in decorative charm and period detail.
This three-panel standing mirror features finely chiseled and engraved brass frames, showcasing intricate surface work that catches the light beautifully. Each panel is adorned with delicate two-color illustrations on board, depicting a romantic countryside courting scene, adding a narrative and artistic dimension to the piece.
Designed for use on a dressing table, the triptych form allows for multiple viewing angles—both practical and highly decorative. Such mirrors were essential elements of the fin-de-siècle vanity, combining function with refined craftsmanship.
The textured brass work, achieved through labor-intensive chiseling, gives the frames a depth and tactile quality rarely found in simpler examples.
Condition:
Good vintage condition overall. The mirrors are intact. The brass framing shows some darkening/patina and would benefit from light reinforcement. One of the small metal pivot connectors on the side panel is loose, though the piece remains stable and fully displayable.
Dimensions:
Each panel: 9.5" H x 7" W
Total width (extended): approximately 23"
A highly decorative and functional antique, perfect for a vanity, dressing table, or as a distinctive accent in any interior.
