Rococo Revival Brass Mirror with Matching Sconces

This is a five-piece ornate wall set consisting of a large central mirror and four matching wall sconces, crafted in a Rococo Revival style. The central mirror features a highly decorative, openwork cast brass (messing) frame with characteristic asymmetrical C-scrolls, acanthus leaf motifs, and shell-like flourishes. The frame exhibits a rich golden patina consistent with polished or lacquered brass, showing some darkening in the deeper recessed areas which highlights the intricate casting. The flat mirror plate is shaped to follow the irregular inner contour of the frame. Accompanying the mirror are four matching cast brass sconces; the top two are designed for hurricane-style glass shades (one of which is visible), while the bottom two are currently holding burgundy tapered candles. Each sconce features a ribbed, shell-style base and curved supporting arms that echo the scrollwork of the mirror. While no specific maker's mark is visible in the image, the construction techniques and material suggest a mid-20th-century production, likely European (German origin suggested by context). The set appears to be in excellent used condition with a slight aged patina but no visible cracks in the metal or desilvering of the mirror glass.
