Texte d'origine - Anglais - The czar's mirror

This is scroll saw mirror so magnificent that I could only call it the czar's mirror. The striking visual effect is obtained by the use of overlying pieces on the main mirror frame. The mirror is richly ornamented with grothesques, caryatids and many floral motives. The main piece is divided in four sections so that they can be cut more easily. The mirror needs reinforcement in the rear once completed.
