Empire-style mirror with a carved and polychrome wooden eagle – late 19th century
A rare and spectacular Empire-style mirror in carved wood depicting an eagle with outstretched wings, towering over a circular mirror framed by a green and gold polychrome molding.
The lower section is adorned with an elaborate design of acanthus leaves and finely carved scrolls.
The eagle, a symbol of power and majesty, is rendered with remarkable attention to detail: its plumage is richly carved, its head turned in profile, and its wings spread wide, giving the piece an exceptional decorative presence.
This type of mirror was traditionally intended for hunting lodges, country estates, or mountain interiors.
The beautiful antique patina, combined with traces of the original polychromy, enhances the charm and authenticity of this decorative piece.
