Circa 1900, unusual Italian painted porcelain, brass mounted table top mirror. With 4 painted and gilded panels, each signed and 4 gilded brass acanthus leaves between them. The external bezel of the frame is gilded brass with unusual open filigree style work, and held by brass uprights. The brass uprights have turned rondels on the front, side and back and are surmounted by winged cherubs. A tapering blue porcelain column is gilded and again has painted panels which are signed. There is a crossover stretcher between the 2 uprights in brass with a bulbous section in the centre. At the base of the 2 porcelain columns it spreads into a gilded and painted plinth, finishing on 4 squat brass feet on a brass plinth.
