This gilded bronze hand mirror features a trimmings-style handle that is quintessentially Napoleon III. Its molded frame is adorned with a beaded design and coiled wire, all in the spirit of trimmings. It is crowned by a Directoire-style cornucopia motif surrounded by volutes. The mirror is mercury-coated with a beveled edge.
