✦ Welcome to Shroud & Shadow ✦Purveyors of rare relics and dark lifestyle.
Up for acquisition is a vintage ornate brass-plated tabletop vanity mirror, featuring a tilting oval glass pane suspended by a gothic swinging mechanism. Curated specifically for our boutique, this captivating tabletop monument effortlessly merges 1970s/1980s craftsmanship with a moody, dark academia lifestyle aesthetic.
THE DESIGN:Crafted with timeless vintage flair, this elegant vanity mirror features a striking metal frame completely blanketed by intricate scrolling filigree, floral crests, and baroque detailing. The ornate base is stabilized by heavily stylized scroll feet that evoke the mystery of forgotten seance rooms and Victorian bedchambers. The double-sided oval mirror is suspended between two elaborate stanchions with adjustable butterfly turnkeys, allowing you to tilt your view toward the shadows. The reverse side features a vibrant green felt backing fabric panel, held securely by brass metal tabs.
THE PROVENANCE:The underside of the ornate cast base bears a classic vintage foil hallmark reading: "MADE IN INDIA." This distinctive origin mark links the piece to late 20th-century artisan metalwork exports, celebrated for bringing heavy, classical European-style brass interpretations into bohemian and eclectic spaces.
