Circa 1900 Oval Gilt Bronze Table Mirror From Italy

Dating to circa 1900, this Italian table mirror features a small oval mirror surrounded by an intricate and pierced gilt bronze frame. A subtle molding of rais-de-cœur immediately encircles the glass, serving as the origination point for the sprawling display of gilded nature motifs. A series of twisting and curling leaves weave in and out of each other, forming a life-like latticework that is punctuated by two large florets on the sides. At the bottom is a small palmette, while the top features a crest of a winged angel bust set within an open oval. A metal stand extends from the back, providing stability for our oval gilt bronze table mirror that can be used in any bathroom, boudoir, or bedroom. The stand could also be removed, allowing the mirror to be hung on a wall in a hallway or landing.
