REQUEST INFORMATION
Beautiful toilet mirror in "Boulle" marquetry, adorned with chased ormolu baguettes.
This Louis XIV period mirror is remarkable for its shape and the quality of the brass and tortoiseshell marquetry.
The original mercury mirror, which implies a technique that originated in Italy, consisted of passing a mixture of tin and mercury under heat.
This is what gives 18th-century mirrors their incomparable charm.
