19th c. Vanity Mirror

France, 19th Century

$355

Antique

One-Of-A-Kind

Rare

From the 19th century and drawing on the wave of Egyptian Revival that swept Europe after Napoleon’s campaigns, this vanity mirror leans into symbolism and ornament. The crest at the top echoes winged forms often seen in Egyptian iconography, reinterpreted through a European lens, while the gilt metal frame is all movement - ribbons, rosettes, and looping lines that feel almost jewelry-like in their construction. The oval mirror is set within a twisted border, giving it just enough depth against all that delicacy. Sylvie keeps something like this where it can catch light - on a dressing table or layered into a vignette where the silhouette does most of the work.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.
