Its triptych design allows the arched side wings to fold inward, framing the central mirror with decorative metal scrollwork. The base, clad in beveled mirror panels with crystal accents and a circular metal pull, conceals a single drawer for jewelry or toilette items. The reverse of the wings retains original lithographed paper with 18th-century courtly scenes—now aged to a warm sepia, with craquelure across the surface—lending the piece a romantic, timeworn character. Condition: Very good vintage condition. Patina to metal elements and small areas of foxing to the mirrored panels. Craquelure visible across the lithographed paper backing on both side wings, with natural yellowing and toning. The drawer's wood interior has wear consistent with age and use. Mirrors are secured closed with a small clasp on the left-hand side; hinges and hardware remain stable and functional. Additional Dimensions: Width with Mirrors Open: 21.5" See less
