Over your living room mantle, you could savor this framed mirror’s beautifully wrought central arrow and quiver above a delicate shell (definitive Rococo), scrolling acanthus leaves and floral garlands festooned around the glass, and all done in hand-carved gilt wood.
But here such opulence is dialed back a touch by being laid out on top of simple off white, painted board.

Maker’s mark: nonexistent. Mirrored glass dimensions: 25”w x 38”h. See less
