The female mask at the apex and the term figure dividing the upper mirror plates are particularly refined features, suggesting a maker of considerable accomplishment working within the established Low Countries tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlemish, Mid to late 19th Century\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Vault Sydney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42242350055479,"sku":"2886","price":7500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2322\/8433\/files\/H3018-L432245054_original.jpg?v=1779322508","url":"https:\/\/thevaultsydney.com\/products\/a-large-antique-repousse-brass-framed-cushion-front-mirror-franco-flemish-or-dutch-second-half-19th-century","provider":"The Vault Sydney","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
