ABOUT PRODUCTID 1648
This late 19th-century table mirror, crafted by the Schiffers manufactory in Warsaw around 1880, exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of its era. The rectangular mirror is set within a brass frame, originally silver-plated, now displaying a warm golden patina with a subtle interplay of matte and gently glossy surfaces. The corners are adorned with stylized foliate decoration, while the solid, turned, stepped circular base provides both stability and a sense of proportion characteristic of late Victorian and neoclassical design. The mirror is mounted on a pivot with side knobs, allowing for precise angle adjustment. The back is finished with a mahogany board, and the original glass shows slight oxidation and minor speckling—hallmarks of antique mirrors. The overall condition is very good for its age, with distinguished patina, minor scratches, and light traces of use, but with no significant damage or repairs. All elements appear original and well-preserved. This object carries the quiet voice of Warsaw’s 19th-century bourgeoisie, where everyday elegance reflected a deep appreciation for detail and classic form. The golden-toned brass and restrained ornamentation evoke calm mornings at a dressing table, with light settling softly on mahogany and metal. Through time, the mirror has preserved its distinct character—gentle speckling on the glass seems to whisper of daily rituals and personal stories, where the beauty of the object formed the backdrop to private moments. The mirror may be paired with a period dressing table or a contemporary console with clean lines, accentuating the contrast between eras. It fits naturally in a classic bedroom among
