  • Late 19th or Early 20th Century Chinese or Chinoiserie Gilt Ormolu Table Mirror
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Highly decorative and rare table mirror with classical Chinese decor. In all our years in this trade we never came accross an antique, Chinese table mirror. Since we cannot find another one anywhere in the world, we have nothing to compare it to. This makes it hard for us to determine whether this mirror was actually made in China (possibly for export) or that it is European made in the time when the chinoiserie style became popular. Mind you, 'popular' in those days meant that only the rich started decorating (parts of) their homes with this new exotic/oriental style. The two Chinese male figures depicted in the frame seem to be performing some kind of ritual. Apart from practical to use, this extremely decorative antique table mirror has many more Chinese style elements that make it a true pleasure to own and look at. Displayed on a sidetable, dresser or vanity this handcrafted, antique talking...
