Description

Item History - This special piece was found at an estate sale in a small town in Central Texas. While it was well loved by it's prior owner - a well-educated lady as well as an avid antique collector - it is now ready to make the perfect addition to your collection of unique treasures. It would also make a wonderful gift for the special someone in your life. Pictures simply do not do this piece justice. At first glance you are mesmerized by the ornate carvings and intricate inlay that surround the dancing couple on the front. You are then drawn in by how smooth the finish is on the back of the piece - like silk. It's at that point you realize that it opens. You find a mirror on one side and a concave oval on the other. If that isn't special enough - you realize that the piece opens beyond 180* and becomes a self-supporting vanity mirror. It truly is lovely. There are no markings to indicate the origin of the piece; however, it lends itself to Italian pieces of this era. Length = 10 inch closed / 20 inches when opened flat W = 5.5 inch While I attempt to highlight the beauty as well as the blemishes of my pieces through photography, I do encourage you to closely view all pictures. This will be the actual item that you receive. If, after viewing the pictures, you have questions about the item's condition please feel free to reach out to me. I am happy to help. All items ship from Central Texas (important to know when calculating shipping) I strive to ship orders the business day following payment; however, I commit to shipping by the third business day. Either way, you will receive a message from me when your item is shipped. Thank you for visiting my store and supporting my small business. Please know I'm happy to assist in any way.
