Unique piece of photography ephemera or on display for the top of the dresser. Beautiful old wood and brass hardware. Aged mirror glass. Looks to be missing the drawer and glass plate adjustment bar but honestly looks beautiful as is
Antique precursor to photoshop...when artists and photographers depended on their hands, their eyes, and clever mechanical devices to retouch their images.
See the attached link for an interesting history of the piece https://apenasimagens.com/en/retouching-desk/
