Rococo Brass Oval Vanity Mirror with Acanthus Leaf Stand & Cherub Crown

Design & Inspiration

Some objects do not merely reflect light — they reflect an entire era. This handcrafted brass oval vanity mirror, faithfully inspired by the extravagance of the French Rococo period (1730–1770), captures the playful grandeur that defined the courts of Louis XV. At 27 cm wide and 43 cm tall, its presence on a dressing table or console is unmistakable: a cascade of gilded acanthus leaves arching outward from the base, a beaded inner border encircling the oval mirror glass, and a crest of intertwined cherubs and blossoms crowning the frame in a composition of irresistible romantic opulence.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Cast entirely in solid brass, this mirror is the result of meticulous hand-finishing by artisans trained in the classical European tradition. The sculptural stand — a branching composition of naturalistic acanthus and oak-leaf sprays — is individually formed, with each leaf veined and curled to suggest organic movement. The frame's beaded rope border and the richly modeled cartouche at the crown demonstrate the Rococo obsession with surface vitality: no plane is left unadorned, no transition left unresolved. The mirror glass itself is set within the beaded brass surround, delivering both function and decorative integrity.

Dimensions & Details

Width: 27 cm | Height: 43 cm | Weight: 4 kg. The mirror arrives ready to display on any flat surface. Its 4 kg solid brass construction ensures stability, while the leaf-form feet of the stand provide a secure, elegant base. Available in multiple finish variants to suit different interior palettes — from warm gold to antique silver — this mirror adapts gracefully to Louis XV, Empire, Rococo, and even eclectic contemporary interiors.
