The mirror is an exquisite example of artistry and craftsmanship, displaying a rich tapestry of intricate details. The frame of the mirror features an array of animal motifs, appliqued with silk and linen plain weaves, creating a stunning visual effect. Architectural motifs add to its grandeur, while black and white elements lend a timeless elegance to the piece. Embroidered with silk, linen, and silk-wrapped metal coils and wires in various stitches including back satin single satin tent and buttonhole stitches, this mirror exemplifies the mastery of embroidery techniques prevalent during that era. Gilt thread adds a touch of opulence to the overall design. Floral motifs are delicately incorporated into the fabric surrounding the mirror's glass surface. Fruit motifs further enhance its decorative appeal. Glass beads, mica, seed pearls, and haberdashery adornments contribute to its luxurious appearance.
