About the Item

This striking 19th-century French table mirror is cast in heavy metal and richly adorned with detailed heraldic motifs. The frame is crowned with a royal-style crown resting on crossed banners and laurel leaves, symbolizing honor and victory. The oval mirror is set within a robust structure and mounted on a pivot, allowing it to tilt for adjustable viewing — both practical and elegant. Two full-armored knights flank the base, each finely sculpted with scaled armor and plumed helmets, standing guard amidst a backdrop of crossed halberds, shields, and oak branches. Draped flags and foliage complete the ornate composition, giving the piece a stately and historical presence. The craftsmanship is exceptional, with deep relief and refined details visible from every angle. This mirror would have likely served a decorative or ceremonial purpose and is now perfect as a collector’s display piece or as a bold, conversation-starting accent on a mantel or desk. The original mirror shows signs of age and wear, consistent with its history. The piece is structurally sound and stands independently. A rare and powerful decorative object that evokes the grandeur of 19th-century French heraldry and military tradition.
