Rococo Brass Oval Vanity Mirror on Pedestal Stand - Floral Acanthus Frame

Design & Inspiration

There are objects that do not merely reflect — they transport. This handcrafted Rococo brass oval vanity mirror, faithfully inspired by the extravagance of eighteenth-century French court design, carries with it the unmistakable spirit of the Louis XV era. Placed upon a dressing table, its gilded form catches the light in restless, shifting ways — the acanthus leaves curling at every angle, the floral garlands cascading around the oval mirror glass with an almost theatrical abundance. This is a mirror that announces its presence before you even look into it.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Cast entirely in solid brass, every surface of this vanity mirror has been worked by hand. The oval mirror frame is enveloped in a densely sculpted wreath of acanthus foliage and stylised floral blooms — a signature motif of Rococo ornamental vocabulary. A ribbon-and-bow crest crowns the top of the frame, echoing the playful elegance that defined the Louis XV aesthetic. The mirror pivots on two side-arm supports, themselves detailed with acanthus appliqué, connecting to a shaped central column that descends into a swept, scrollwork pedestal base. The base is engraved with repeat foliage patterns and flanked by scroll-footed corners, creating visual stability beneath all that exuberant ornament. The finish is available in multiple brass tones to suit different interior palettes.

Dimensions & Details

This luxury standing vanity mirror weighs 4 kg — a reassuring, substantial weight that speaks to the density of the solid brass construction. The pedestal base provides a stable platform, and the swivel mechanism allows the mirror to be angled to the user's preference. Designed to be a statement piece on a dressing table, vanity unit, or as an accent on a side console in a bedroom or hallway, this mirror bridges function and pure decorative pleasure.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece bearing the Brass & Wood name is produced in Egypt by artisans who have inherited generations of metalworking craft. The intricate relief work on this vanity mirror — each acanthus curl, each petal, each scroll foot — is cast and then hand-finished to ensure crispness of detail and consistency of finish. Brass & Wood's Egyptian workshops combine traditional European design literacy with meticulous contemporary quality control, producing luxury classical replicas that honour the originals without apology.
