The original silvered glass, crafted in two sections—a necessity when large panes weren’t available—has completely tarnished, transforming the reflective surface into a dreamlike haze. Rather than revealing a crisp reflection, it offers a moment of quiet introspection, inviting you to imagine the person you see within. The gilt frame is a study in understated elegance, with carved squares each featuring a single dot, creating a rhythmic, almost meditative pattern. At the top, architectural flourishes evoke the grandeur of Italian facades, with floral details and moldings reminiscent of a sunlit palazzo. This mirror carries a pretense that can’t be fully captured in words or photographs—it must be experienced. Perfectly imperfect, it is a rare find, a conversation piece that blurs the line between functional object and poetic work of art. less
