Antique Hand Carved Phoenix & Dragon w. Large Mirror Side Table Entry Hall Stand
Antique Hand Carved Phoenix & Dragon w. Large Mirror Side Table Entry Hall Stand

Antique Hand Carved Phoenix & Dragon w. Large Mirror Side Table Entry Hall Stand

By Gabriel Viardot

Located in Lisse, NL

Rare large and extremely sculptural wall table with marble inlay and beveled mirror. If you are appreciative of rare and sculptural antiques then this large mirror / side table could be exactly what you are looking for. The quality and the patina of the large, fighting phoenix bird and dragon frame is second to none and for it to be in such good condition is truly amazing. It takes a special craftsman and artist to create such a piece, the type that you simply don't find anymore in this day and age. Because of the subject matter and the great quality, the first name that comes to mind would be that of master sculptor Gabriel Viardot. However, Viardot virtually made all of his dragon sculptures in the Chinoiserie style and this piece is clearly more European. In terms of the quality of the carvings, whomever created this unique piece of furniture certainly was no less artistic or skilled as Viardot, because this piece really is among the best you will ever see. The way in which this hand carved wooden phoenix is holding the shield-like beveled mirror in its claws and the way the dragon seems to try to fend off the enormous and fierce phoenix is both dramatic and impressive at the same time and it will never seize to amaze you or anyone visiting. Especially when you see the detailed carvings and the true size of this work of beauty in real life, you will be stunned. By the way, we learned that in imperial China, the dragon and the phoenix were respectively associated with the Emperor and the Empress...

About Our Vintage & Antique Mirror Collection

Vintage mirrors have long been a measure of craftsmanship, from gilded Rococo frames to the sunburst shapes that became a signature of mid-century design.

Styles to Know

An arched or sunburst mirror reads more decorative, while a plain rectangular frame lets the room around it stand out. Hang one above a vintage vanity or a mid-century modern dresser, or lean a larger floor mirror against the wall as a standalone piece.

How to Choose the Right Vintage Mirror

Foxing and an aged frame usually read as character rather than damage, worth weighing against a listing's condition notes. For placement ideas, our 12 dramatic mirrors feature is a good place to start. Each piece comes from a vetted 1stDibs seller, with era and designer on record, and the 1stDibs Promise covers each purchase.

Questions About Mirrors

  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024
    To know if your old mirror is worth anything, you can do one of two things. You can conduct online research to see how much similar pieces have sold for in the past. When looking for comparable items, consider the maker, age, style, size, type and condition of your mirror, as all of these characteristics may impact the value. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer examine your mirror and provide you with an estimated value. Explore a large collection of antique and vintage mirrors on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    What is on the back of a mirror varies. Most mirrors feature a metal backing fashioned out of nickel, tin, silver, chromium or aluminum. Manufacturers typically apply film-forming paint to the metal to reduce the risk of corrosion and extend the life of the mirror. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of mirrors.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024
    Mirrors are important for a few reasons. For one thing, they make it possible for people to see how they look when grooming and dressing, permitting them to make the best possible impression on others. In fitting rooms, mirrors enable users to see how well a particular item fits from different angles. Mirrors can also enhance the appearance of a living space and can even create the illusion that a room is larger than it actually is. Shop a large selection of mirrors on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
    Sunburst mirrors have remained one of the most consistently searched mirror styles for years.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
    Antique mirrors are generally 100 years or older, while vintage mirrors are at least 20 years old and often reflect a specific design era, such as Art Deco or Hollywood Regency.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024
    The mirror is more than 6,000 years old. Early examples made of polished obsidian rather than glass date back to 4000 B.C. Handheld glass mirrors became popular in ancient Greece during the 5th century B.C. Find a diverse assortment of mirrors from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
    Use wall anchors or studs rated for the mirror's full weight, and consider two mounting points for larger or heavier pieces; listings note approximate weight where available.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
    Center the mirror at eye level, roughly 60 inches from the floor to the mirror's midpoint, adjusting for very tall or low furniture beneath it.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
    An arched or sunburst mirror adds a decorative focal point above a vanity, while a plain rectangular mirror keeps the attention on the vanity itself.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
    Not necessarily. Foxing, the dark spotting on old mirror glass, is often considered a desirable sign of age and authenticity rather than a flaw.
