Dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, this wonderfully romantic piece has the kind of character that only comes with more than a century of life. Its unusual, softly angular shape is surrounded by a beautifully thick, hand-finished-looking beveled edge that catches the light from every direction. The original mirror glass has developed a lovely aged quality, while the untouched backing bears the marks of time, adding to its authenticity and charm. There’s something almost magical about holding a mirror that has reflected so many faces and moments over the years, like a little window into another time. Perfect for a dressing table, a treasured vanity collection, or simply for the pleasure of using something genuinely old and beautiful every day. A lovely piece for anyone who appreciates antique objects with history, personality, and a little mystery.
