This French art deco nickel bronze mirror was created by L. Charles in his atelier at 8 Cours Lafayette, Lyon, France in the 1920’s. The leaping deer, a favored icon of the deco movement in France, rises into the mirror glass. Charles uses texture to depict the ground below the deer and to contrast the sunburst motif and the stylized drapes in the vertical portion of the frame. Re-nickel plated and with a new glass, the mirror, which measures 19” high x 31” wide, is ready for another 80 plus years of good reflections.
