"Large Carved And Gilded Mirror"
Monumental free-standing mirror, ca. 1870. Burin-engraved frame containing a mirror on which the rich carvings rest, at the base two winged sphinxes are opposed while at the top of the uprights two other caryatids hold a festoon of flowers and leaves that rests on repeated architectural elements. On the top a triton holds two flower festoons. The entire surface is gilded. There are clearly Umbertine-style elements in which the new Liberty style can also be seen.
