Large Antique French 19th C Napoleon III Style Rectangular Mirror
About the Item
Introducing a majestic French Rectangular Mirror, styled in the Napoleon III fashion, dating back to around 1880-1890. Its frame elegantly combines shades of black and gold with subtlety and grace.
Discovering an antique Napoleon III mirror of this size and shape is a rare gem indeed. The mirror glass itself boasts a touch of character, adorned with charming spots, as depicted in the accompanying pictures. Rather than diminishing its appeal, these imperfections add to its distinct allure, creating a one-of-a-kind piece.
This mirror retains its original mirror plate, preserving its historical authenticity. The back cladding was in a poor condition and is replaced.
While minor nicks, chips, and cracks consistent with its age can be observed upon close inspection, they contribute to the mirror's authentic character.
