This French oval table top dressing mirror dates from 1870 in the French Rococo style, rendered in gold gilt brass with a glass mirror plate. The piece includes an easel stand and a bevelled mirror plate, measuring 71 cm high and 43 cm wide. Elaborate decorative elements define the frame, featuring a scrolled cresting, a central mascaron mask, a laurel leaf border, and a rocaille shell at the base. The metal surface exhibits a reflective metallic finish with detailed chased ornamentation and openwork scrollwork across the upper crest. Placed upon a sideboard top, the mirror suits traditional interior settings such as a bedroom dressing table or a living area surface, adding decorative reflection and period character to domestic spaces.

FAQs

Authentic period examples display signs of hand-casting, minor casting flaws, heavy structural weight, aged oxidisation on untreated rear surfaces, and original fixing screws or easel stands.

A brass tabletop mirror functions well on a bedroom dressing table, marble bathroom countertop, or hallway console, acting as a textured focal point against minimalist backdrops.

Dust the frame regularly with a soft dry brush or microfiber cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes that can strip original gilding or patina.

These mirrors were primarily constructed using cast brass, bronze, or ormolu (gilded bronze) frames paired with bevelled or flat silvered glass plates and structural rear supports.

French Rococo style dressing mirrors are characterised by asymmetrical curves, intricate crestings, mascarons, foliage motif embellishments, and elaborate cast metal or gilded frames designed during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
