Add architectural depth and Victorian elegance to your space with this stately "deep-well" shadow box mirror. Dating from the late 19th century (circa 1870–1890), this piece features a rich, dark walnut frame with a classic ogee-molded profile. The frame is beautifully accented by an inset "lemon gilt" liner—a vibrant, yellow-gold border that provides a brilliant transition between the deep wood tones and the glass. This combination of materials was a hallmark of high-Victorian craftsmanship, designed to reflect light and add a sense of importance to any room.

Condition:
The mirror is in good antique condition, showing character-defining wear consistent with its 140-year history.
Frame: The walnut retains a deep, lustrous finish with minor surface nicks and small white paint speckles visible on the top-left corner, as shown in detail photos.
Joinery: The mitered corners are tight and structurally sound.
Gilt Liner: The lemon gilt border remains bright and provides a stunning contrast.
Glass: The mirror glass is clear and offers a sharp, functional reflection.

Dimensions: 23”W x 3”D x 27”H

A classic example of 19th-century American or English framing, this mirror offers a sophisticated, "Old World" presence that bridges the gap between traditional heritage and modern transitional decor. See less
