Re: Absinthe Berthelot Bar Mirror
These bar mirrors are nearly all reproductions that began to appear in the 1980's when the demand and values for original 19th century mirrors when through the roof. The original work this piece copies was created in 1895 by French illustrator Henri Thiriet. Pieces like this really need a physical appraisal to determine what you have.
