A delightful and rare Napoleon III circular mirror from the second half of the 19th century, in ebonized wood, the molded frame turning a crisp ring of black around the glass, lifted by delicate gilded highlights along its inner and outer edges. Round mirrors of this kind are keenly sought as accent pieces: the dark frame reads as sharply against pale walls as against color, dressing an entry, powder room, staircase, or gallery wall with instant graphic effect. The ebonized surface is in good order, carrying the soft sheen of age, and the glass reflects with the gentle character of an old plate. A characterful, versatile mirror, with wear consistent with age.
