Napoléon III Period Faux Bamboo Mirror in Turned Fruitwood, France, Circa 1880

A beautifully patinated 19th century French faux bamboo mirror, crafted in warm fruitwood with refined spindle turnings typical of the Napoléon III period. The frame’s sculptural form and elegant proportions are complemented by the original mercury glass, softly foxed with age and offering a romantic, timeworn reflection.
