About the Item

An exceptionally sumptuous and, at the same time, elegantly imposing large mirror with a matching low console is a true representative of the Napoleon III style, which originated in France and was current in the period from 1852 to 1871, with furniture in this style being popular even outside the borders of France in other European countries. The mirror of architectural structure, with straight lines, is made of lacquered wood in black, and its surfaces are enriched with mother-of-pearl inlays and elaborate decorative compositions in the form of foliate arabesques, executed in a technique known as "Boulle marquetry". On the left and right sides there are tall, slender columns, partly turned in the form of balusters, and partly treated with grooves. The columns have capitals of gilded bronze, of the Corinthian type, which is the most sumptuous type of classical Greek capitals. The lower part of the mirror consists of a low console with a top made of marble with dark green, black and white natural patterns. The console is slightly raised from the ground and is supported by "bun" type feet.
