Napoleon III Mirror, 19th Century

An essential piece of the opulent interior of the second half of the 19th century, the Napoleon III mirror often comes in the styles of the past. Nevertheless, real creations are emerging and characterize an era, its tastes and its influences. This is the case with this black wooden mirror enhanced with red. The evocation of Japanese lacquers makes no mystery here. The Japanese wave then swept over Paris and the rest of France and one falls in love with the deep blacks and cinnabar reds that come from this distant East. Our mirror, in very good condition, will bring a touch of mystery to any interior.
