Description
Rare pair of large French Napoleon III mirrors from the second half of the 800th century in gilded and carved wood.

The 24kt gold leaf gilding is placed on a layer of bole substance used as a base on which the gold leaf is then placed.
The mercury mirror is original from the time.
Provenance: 19th century France.
