This French "repousse" mirror is like none we've seen before. The frame is crafted using the repoussé technique, a metalworking process where designs are hammered into relief from the reverse side. Popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, repoussé mirrors are admired and sought after pieces. Sourced from an estate in Marseille. Note that a small piece of metal is sticking out in the top right corner of the mirror. dimensions: 12 x 16.25 Show more
