Gorgeous World Class Antique Mirror
The exceptional grains have the look of tortoise shell
Rich beautiful grains, hand rubbed finish, a showpiece!
Circa 1825
American Empire
No doubt entirely hand made by an early American craftsman
Beautiful over a dresser, in a bath room, entryway, hallway to name a few...wherever you place it, rave reviews are guaranteed!
Spectacular crotch/flame mahogany veneers
Pine secondary wood
Amazing character as you expect with any fine antique...worm holes, nicks, dings, a few areas of veneer restoration. You can easily tell the back of the mirror frame shows hand planing marks
I restored this mirror to full glory, museum quality...including dowel pegs at corners, inlaid a veneer restoration
Notice the wide & beautiful profile of the wood frame
I restored the finish entirely by hand using many, many coats of hand rubbed & polished varnish
The finish showcases all the grains and will provide excellent water resistance if you choose to place this in a bathroom or humid area
The mirror glass & wood panel on the back are new
I installed the new mounts & wire for hanging..I will include 2 hooks & nails for wall mounting
***If you desire the hanging wire installed so the mirror hangs in the opposite way shown..just call or email a note when you purchase and I will happily reposition the wire for you complimentary***
You will love this beautiful antique mirror!!
all the best, Bryan
