Beige talosel structure, blue and gilt baguette-shaped mirrors, silver square mirrors. Signed « Line Vautrin» on the back. This elegant mirror is the largest model in the ‘Romain’ series. Less common than the small and medium models, these large mirrors are very elaborated, especially on the talosel which presents different kinds of ridges, horizontal and with a chevrons pattern. Its radiant and luminous aspect is enhanced with the small silvered square mirrors punctuating the whole mirror.
