We acquired this mirror at an estate sale where we curate most of the items that I list on Chairish.
This vintage Hollywood Regency style sparkly wall mirror sports a solid wood foundation frame about 1 inch thick- the part that rests upon the wall when hanging.
When examining, we can see that the wood was first painted black. Then over the black is gold gilt applied in such a way that the gold only shows up where intended in accent areas and the black is still visible in other areas. This gives off a unique luminous effect when reflected from the center mirror and when there is an interplay between the mirror and light reflecting off it.
The triadic color scheme of black, gold and the dominant silver -through the merits of the center mirror and mirror fragments is subtle and brilliant at the same time.

The front of the wood intended for display is highly hand carved with peaks, valleys and curvatures in the design as shown. Then the valleys and wells of the curvatures are adorned with striated hand carved mirror fragments. I am guessing that the mirror fragments were glued on- but that is a guess as stated. The mirror fragments are all affixed and are not loose.
The overall effect of this design, I believe, is to compliment and uplift the person viewing themself in the mirror, surrounding their face with Hollywood Regency dazzle.
