About the Item

A French Louis-Philippe style mirror from circa 1920 featuring a richly colored faux tortoiseshell frame with rounded upper corners and a contrasting ebonized inner molding. The frame’s warm amber and dark brown tones emulate natural tortoiseshell, highlighted by its smooth, softly curved profile characteristic of the Louis-Philippe period. Elegant in its simplicity, the design emphasizes proportion and craftsmanship rather than ornament, creating a timeless presence that harmonizes easily with both classic and contemporary interiors. The mirror plate shows gentle age and light spotting consistent with its period, enhancing its authenticity and charm. With its balanced silhouette and warm coloration, this mirror would make a refined focal point above a console, mantel, or dressing table. A fine example of early 20th-century French craftsmanship, combining Louis-Philippe grace with the decorative appeal of faux tortoiseshell artistry.
