19th Century French Napoleon III Style Parecloses Mirror

About the Item

A unique 19th century French Napoleon III style parecloses mirror with beautiful proportions and a unique frame design. This authentic mirror features wonderful brass ornamentations and finishes, stunning wood carvings, and a mirror glass in fine condition. The brass arabesques on each corner of the mirror penetrate through the successive hand carved wood frames and really give an impressive sense of structure to the piece as a whole. This type of Napoleon III mirror is known as “parecloses” which was a highly prized type of mirror design in the 19th century imported from Venice. This design is characterized by the overall largeness of the mirror with a first large frame that contained smaller frames within its structure and each displaying unique ornamental finishes and carvings. This Napoleon III antique mirror is a fine example of this style and will truly add a unique and original touch of elegance to any home interior.
