This stunning metal mirror, dating back to the late 14th century, is a true masterpiece of medieval craftsmanship. The intricate frame is adorned with delicate angels, lush plants, and two intertwined hearts, symbolizing love and devotion. Created by renowned artist Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck in the 19th century for his book "Costumes, crafts and instruments of the Middle Ages at the end of the 18th century," this chromolithograph captures every exquisite detail of the original mirror. The reflection in this mirror would have been a sight to behold for its medieval owners, offering a glimpse into a world filled with beauty and symbolism. The angels are depicted with ethereal grace, while the hearts add a touch of romance to the overall design.

It serves as a reminder of the skilled artisans who crafted such treasures centuries ago. This chromolithograph is not just a reproduction; it is a work of art in itself that pays homage to both medieval craftsmanship and 19th-century illustration techniques.
