About the Item

Carved Wooden Dragon Mirror, Indochina, Circa 1900 The frame, executed with exceptional craftsmanship, features a symmetrical and dynamic composition: two majestic dragons, finely carved, emerge from the lower corners to entwine a central upper medallion representing the yin and yang — an ancient symbol of cosmic balance. Their sinuous bodies flow fluidly along the sides of the frame, in a movement that is both powerful and harmonious. The lower part of the frame is dominated by a frontal enigmatic face — somewhere between dragon, protective demon, and Barong figure — with a mysterious smile, giving the piece a unique and protective presence. The original mirror, with a subtle bevel, shows some signs of wear on the silvering, bearing the marks of time. The frame has been carefully restored in our workshop, respecting its patina and historical integrity. Dimensions: Height: 51 cm Width: 38 cm Depth: 3 cm A rare work, both decorative and symbolic, for the discerning collector or a distinctive interior.
