Napoleon III brass mirror 46x73cm

The moment we saw this Napoleon III brass mirror that dates from the 19th century, it was love at first sight. Mostly because of the incredible repoussé, which is a skilled metalworking technique where the metal is shaped by hammering from the reverse side to create intricate designs. With a double border, floral design and lots of characterful foxing, this is one of the most stunning mirrors we have ever come across. She's not bad for over a hundred years old... Good vintage condition. Some foxing and wear and tear consistent with age and vintage.
