    I bought this in a French 'Depot Vente' for a silly price having fallen for the carving. Going on what I saw in such consignment shops it would have started life fixed to the top of a 1930's French sideboard. Sideboards then were short but high with a marble top. The mirror placed on the marble was in the same wood as the sideboard itself.

    The marble was a durable serving surface and at other times the mirror reflected whatever ornaments were placed on the sideboard. I guess these were probably high end sideboards.

    Image three is the actual colour of the wood.

    Length 120 cm. Height 50 cm.
