This antique wall mirror from France is rectangular-shaped with linear profile about the perimeter and inner rope trim accents and a petite bead accent lines the inner surround next to the glass. The wood has an overall grey/green color with hints of brown, and a teal blue color softly highlights some of the trim accents. This piece retains its original glass, which is in two pieces (as shown in our secondary images).

This 19th century French rectangular wall mirror stands just over 4 feet in height. See less
