The mirror frame boasts profuse acanthus leaf open carvings, with a lovely gilt finish. The back of the frame retains its original backboards, along with a replacement chain (for safety reasons).

The item is a good practical size: it’s not too large and not too small, and therefore, it can be used in most locations to enhance the room. This antique wall mirror would look superb in several rooms from the hallway, bedroom or living room. It would certainly grace any home and is a great investment, as it is extremely functional.
