The artwork, titled “Table Mirror,” was created by Louis Comfort Tiffany in 1905. This piece belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls under the design and furniture genre. It is part of the “Tiffany Furniture” series, showcasing Tiffany’s unique approach to functional art pieces.
The artwork features an oval-shaped mirror elegantly framed by a rich design that includes intricately crafted details and ornamental motifs. The frame is adorned with decorations that reflect the organic and fluid lines characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement. Notably, the frame is embellished with patterns that appear to emulate natural forms, further emphasized by the ornate swan-like figures on either side, which serve as both handles and additional decorative elements. The base of the mirror supports the structure with a design reminiscent of flowing leaves or feathers, adding to the cohesive naturalistic theme. The overall effect is one of refined elegance and attention to detail, epitomizing the fusion of functionality and artistic beauty common in Tiffany’s works.
