About the Item

An exceptional Moroccan mirror dating to circa 1900, featuring a tall rectangular form surmounted by a distinctive arched crest and resting on pierced bracket feet. The surface is richly adorned with intricate inlay work combining bone and mother-of-pearl. The main borders display alternating rows of geometric motifs, meticulously crafted in bone with fine etched detailing showcasing chevron-patterned bands. These sharp linear elements contrast with the more fluid and elaborate floral designs found in the pierced crest and apron, which appear to be fashioned from luminous mother-of-pearl. The shell’s subtle iridescence adds depth and refinement to the densely packed vines, rosettes, and tendrils that crown the composition. The mirror features a replaced plate that integrates well with the original frame. With its extraordinary scale, elaborate handwork, and interplay of texture and tone, this piece exemplifies the finest traditions of North African inlay and would serve as a dramatic architectural element in a curated interior.
