Niello Table Mirror 925 Silver — Paisley Niello Stand Mirror

A 925 sterling silver mirror — the frame completely covered with paisley niello, golden accents on the curved contours and cartouches. No plastic frame, no gold-plated metal — solid silver, approx. 510 grams, 295 × 253 mm. A standing mirror that sits on the dressing table, chest of drawers or desk and transforms the room even before you look into it. The paisley ornament — the teardrop-shaped patterns used in the Russian niello tradition for centuries — extends seamlessly over the entire frame. Each line hand-engraved, the niello hand-melted in the flame.

Paisley on Silver — an Ornament That Never Goes Out of Style

The paisley pattern (also called boteh) originally comes from Persia and symbolizes the tree of life. In Russian silversmithing, it has held a firm place since the 18th century — the teardrop-shaped, curved patterns perfectly match the niello technique because they show depth and movement. On this mirror, the paisley covers the entire frame: top, bottom, left, right — not a square centimeter of silver remains without ornament.

The golden accents frame the contour of the mirror and add small highlights to the four cartouches at the top and bottom. Gold, silver, niello-black — three materials that together create an image that appears baroque without being overdone.

A Mirror for Every Day — Not Just for the Display Cabinet

This mirror is not an exhibit behind glass. It is a standing mirror with a support on the back — you place it on your dressing table and use it. Every morning, every evening. The silver reflects light differently than a metal frame — warmer, softer. And the paisley ornament becomes more contrasting with every polish: the silver brighter, the niello deeper.

The Gift a Woman Doesn't Buy for Herself

Birthday: A silver mirror for a 50th or 60th — the piece that sits on the chest of drawers and reminds her every day who gave it to her.

Wedding: The mirror the bride looks into on the morning of the wedding — and then every year on her anniversary.

Mother's Day: More personal than flowers, more durable than chocolate. A piece that lasts.

Combination: Together with the jewelry box or the Chara necklace, it creates an ensemble that completely transforms the dressing table into silver.
