Francuski tryptyk toaletowy - składane lustro z bordową skórą, 1910-1920—
€89.43
We present an exceptional example of French artistic craftsmanship from the Belle Époque period – a three-section, folding toilet mirror (triptych) from 1910-1920. It is not only a functional everyday object but a true boulevard ornament that will transport you to the atmosphere of Parisian salons of the early 20th century.
The construction is based on three panels connected by movable hinges, allowing the mirror to be set in any configuration – flat, angled, or closed, like a medieval altar triptych. The frames are made of lightweight, painted metal in a subdued, pastel color scheme, which perfectly complements the deep burgundy shade of embossed leather adorning the outer panels. The leather upholstery is kept in an elegant burgundy color, which over time has acquired a noble patina, giving the item a unique, vintage character.
