About the Item

A whimsical yet finely crafted 19th century English table mirror, cast in brass in the shape of a stylized horseshoe, complete with studded nail heads and topped with a sculptural arrangement of crossed pistols, a riding crop, and a domed helmet. This eccentric yet handsome piece blends novelty design with function and would likely have adorned a gentleman’s dressing table or sportsman's interior. The polished brass construction retains a warm, aged patina throughout, enhanced by the raised and textured surface surrounding the mirror, which plays against the cooler gleam of the silvered metal embellishments. The mirror itself is set in a shaped frame with an arched top and split-foot base, lending it both stability and visual balance. An integrated rear support allows it to stand freely. A rare and collectible object for lovers of sporting antiques, equestrian décor, or the offbeat character of Victorian-era English design, this piece would sit comfortably in a study, library, or curated vignette of curiosities.
