More About This Item:
This mirror doesn’t just reflect—it holds court. With its dramatic lattice fretwork crown and faux bamboo supports, it feels plucked from the set of a 1940s Hollywood starlet’s dressing room. You can almost imagine the clink of cocktail glasses in the background and a satin robe just off frame.

Crafted by Pennsylvania Furniture Co., this piece is a testament to American chinoiserie influence in the mid-20th century, merging Eastern decorative flourishes with the bold lines and flair of Hollywood Regency. The ball feet, pagoda-style silhouette, and sweeping proportions all speak to a time when furniture was both functional and theatrical.

Hang it above a lacquered console, an antique vanity, or even in a powder room for that unexpected 'Old Hollywood meets Far East' flair. It’s the kind of mirror that doesn’t just reflect a room—it transforms it.

Design Style:
A striking fusion of Art Deco elegance and chinoiserie romance, this mirror is right at home in layered interiors. Picture it anchoring a glamorous entryway with a palm-leaf wallpaper backdrop, or floating above a brass-accented credenza flanked by twin ginger jar lamps. If you’re chasing that storied, “collected over time” aesthetic, this is your moment.

Brand Legacy:
The Pennsylvania Furniture Co. was one of the more refined regional furniture makers of the 20th century, often blending traditional craftsmanship with whimsical or worldly details. This mirror showcases that perfectly: American-made with a wink toward exoticism, all wrapped in a timeless silhouette. Pieces like this didn’t just follow trends—they helped define the visual language of mid-century glamour. See less
