A French rectangular bamboo mirror with bamboo root finials from the late 19th century. Born in the last decades of the 19th century, this French bamboo mirror witnesses the taste for anything Japanese that spreads throughout Europe at the end of the 19th century. Bamboo furniture started to find a predominant place in homes. As such, this French mirror features a simple rectangular bamboo frame, exquisitely accentuated by bamboo roots in the extremities. The mirrored plate that shows some signs of aging, is surrounded by a thin molding whose darker hue contrasts with the outer frame beautifully. Perfect to be placed anywhere in a home, this French bamboo mirror circa 1880 would look particularly wonderful in a country home or mountain cabin.
