The frame features graceful scrolling forms, shell-like cresting, and softly contoured edges, giving the piece a sculptural presence that reads equally well as functional décor or wall-mounted art.

The elongated vertical proportions make this mirror especially appealing for interior designers and collectors, ideal for use in entryways, powder rooms, bedrooms, dressing areas, or layered salon-style wall installations.
