Offering yet another fine example of a French hand-wrought iron mirror frame from the 20th Century teens or twenties. The attractive diamond shape is unusual and in this instance decorated with gingko leaves, a motif chosen by top designers of the period. The patina is original and in excellent condition -- a deep brown/black, typical of wrought iron finishes of the era. The patina’s been enhanced and protected by the application of a dark brown paste wax. The mirror’s bevel is substantial and hand-wrought, showing a good half inch, greatly enhancing the mirror’s overall beauty. As you can see there are only a few very small (humidity) marks on the silvering, which show up as small black dots.
There are two loops on either side of the mirror because it (probably) originally had a nice wide decorative hanging device (belt or wire) which would have traveled through both loops and ended with a knot and tassel. It will have a single plastic-coated wire especially made for hanging pictures or mirrors installed, employing only the top loops. If you can find a couple of good French tassels, you can hang them from the bottom loops.
Dimensions: about 29 5/8 wide, 14 1/2 high (add one inch total to the width for the loops on the sides which hold the hanging wire). There are no scratches on the surface of the glass.
