Antique Triptych Folding Mirror by “Miroir Brot”

A beautiful and exceptionally well designed mirror which can be used as a folding dressing-table mirror, alternatively, suspended as a wall mirror by the two integral loops attached to the frame. It can also be used for travelling, this lovely mirror has three panels that cleverly fold over one another so that the mirror completely closes for transportation. A catch keeps the panels safely closed when shut, with the makers mark “MIROIR BROT DÉPOSÉ” confirming the manufacturer of this patented design as being “Miroir Brot”.
