Also with some talosel insets to the triangular elements, made to simulate caming in stained glass. All of these conditions are visible in the catalogue photographs and add to the overall appearance of the mirror. The triangular elements of the frame are quite deep and the have glass elements to the edges. Please see sothebys.com for an additional image showing a side view of the mirror. The central mirror in this example is a flat mirror. A very rare mirror within the body of work executed by Line Vautrin.
