The rectangular structure features a striking wrought-iron perimeter frame, finished with a punched pattern of small, light-colored recesses and decorated with sinuous scrollwork both above and below.

The central body houses a large beveled mirror in a warm amber or rosé hue, topped by a thick, clear glass shelf with rounded corners, ideal as a pocket emptier or hat rack.

The functional focus is on four sturdy, protruding knobs. Each is composed of a decorated iron bar, a lower coat hook (single or double), and a large, heavy, clear glass front disc that serves as a stopper and lends visual lightness to the entire structure.

Dimensions: 40 x 120 x 25 cm
