The frame, with its dark, patinated finish, is adorned with rich embossed decoration consisting of celestial motifs: five-pointed stars, crescent moons, and a central star, all finely chased and distributed along the border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe top of the mirror is embellished with a symbolic ensemble composed of a large crescent moon framing a star, flanked by two lateral crescents, giving the whole a singular and theatrical look. Several colored cabochons are inlaid on the front: white pearls, red and blue pastilles, adding touches of color that elegantly contrast with the dark metal tone of the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFloral motifs and scrolls decorate the base on a double-scrolled foot, providing stability and refinement to the piece. The mirror itself is oval-shaped, inserted into the mount without additional decoration on the glass. The entire frame displays an antique patina, with slightly irregular texture effects and some visible traces of oxidation on the metallic surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery detail of the decoration, from the starry relief to the inlays, testifies to the careful ornamental work typical of decorative objects from the late 19th century, in the Napoleon III or Orientalist spirit. No manufacturer's markings are visible on the front. The visible elements do not indicate the precise material, but the appearance suggests a worked metallic finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis decorative mirror stands out for the richness of its ornaments, the presence of colored cabochons, and the quality of the chasing, making it an ideal piece for refined decoration or use as a period dressing table mirror.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item sold as is.
