The molded frame is finished with a rich gold leaf along the inner edge, accented by a beaded trim, while the outer edge is painted in a soft, muted green that contrasts elegantly with the gilding.
The original mercury glass plate exhibits light speckling consistent with age, adding authentic charm and character. While the surface appears slightly dusty, the glass itself is clear and not cloudy. The back retains its early hand-planed wood panels and an affixed wire for hanging, attesting to its 19th-century construction.
Measuring 14.25 inches wide by 50.5 inches high, this tall and slender mirror is ideal for use as a dressing mirror, powder room accent, or narrow hallway feature. A beautifully preserved decorative piece with timeless antique appeal. Excellent condition commensurate with age and use. See less
