A French illuminated magnifying shaving mirror Brot from circa 1920, designed in the Art Deco style with glamour influences. The piece is constructed from steel and glass with a polished chrome finish in a silver colour, featuring a circular frame, a pedestal base, a swivel mechanism, and a braided electrical cord. Visible details include a double-sided round mirror head with a smaller circular magnification insert, decorative side adjustment knobs, a fluted column on a stepped conical footplate, and an attached vintage-style inline switch on fabric-covered flex wiring. The unit measures 42 cm high, 30 cm wide, and 12 cm deep. Suitable for placement on a bathroom counter, vanity table, or dressing surface for grooming and shaving routines today.

FAQs

Invented in Paris in 1826 by Francois Brot, the Miroir Brot introduced spotlighting and magnification to personal grooming mirrors. These illuminated tabletop and wall-mounted mirrors became standard fixtures in hotels and residences throughout the twentieth century.

Vintage shaving mirrors typically feature solid brass or steel frames plated in nickel or chrome. The mirror glass often includes magnified sections, supported by weighted bases, swivel joints, and woven electrical flex cords for illuminated models.

Authentic pieces usually display maker stamps or engraved branding on the base or rim, heavy cast metal bases rather than lightweight modern alloys, and period-correct wiring mechanisms or braided flex.

Position the mirror on a marble bathroom vanity countertop or a timber dressing table to contrast metallic textures. Pairing chrome finishes with neutral stone or dark wood creates a balanced aesthetic.

Clean chrome surfaces using a damp microfibre cloth followed by dry buffing to prevent water spotting and oxidisation. Avoid harsh chemical abrasive cleaners on aged glass, especially near silvered edges.
