Dressing table mirror 1887 - 1911

"Dressing table mirror" is a decorative, functional piece crafted by André Aucoc between 1887 and 1911. The mirror itself is framed in an octagonal shape and features a combination of gilt bronze and mother-of-pearl ornamentation. The design incorporates decorative elements like fluted columns, floral motifs, and geometric patterns. The mirror is mounted on a base with a small drawer, further enhancing its practicality. Currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this piece showcases Aucoc's craftsmanship and the popularity of luxurious, decorative items in late 19th-century French design.
