Napoleon III Silver Bronze Mirror

Rococo style silvered bronze mirror with dragon and flower decorations.
The mirror is mercury and is fully beveled. Note a few puncture points on the ice in different places (see photos).
The structure of the set in silvered bronze is openwork on the edges to bring out the different patterns.
At the top we find a dragon overhanging the mirror, a shell at the bottom and patterns of flowers, stems and leaves on the sides.
It hangs thanks to a cavity at the top of the mirror allowing to put a hook.
At the same place there is a screw and a bolt, which was to allow a removable foot to be attached.
French work from the Napoleon III period. No presence of hallmarks or signature.
