A rather unique French mirror from the early 20th century, made of a steel frame that is embossed with four-leaf clover icons and stylized flowers, mounted on a wooden casing like a window. Each corner is defined by angular flanges that extend beyond the frame, emphasizing the beveled slope leading inward toward the mirror plate. A line of circular, quatrefoil symbols dot the outer band of molding, impressed upon the metal to leave areas of oxidation that give definition to their shape. The (original) mirror glass appears frosted with foxing of craquelure texture and light oxidation. Shown in vertical orientation, symmetrical to mount in either direction.
