A giltbronze dressing glass

A dressing mirror in gilt and chiseled bronze resting on a rectangular base supported by four feet in shape of shell. Supported by two stylized volutes, the mirror frame is decorated with a frieze of Greek with in each corner a flower. The top of the mirror is adorned with wreaths, flowers and shells.Under the Restauration, the decorative arts are pleasant, kind to delight the public and not to exalt the heroism. A sober decor, reflecting the peace and sweetness of life follows the warrior symbols of the Empire.
