The original production label on the reverse places this piece precisely in February 1966, and confirms the walnut and pecan veneer finish that gives the frame its characteristic mid-century American warmth.

The frame is well-proportioned and cleanly detailed — a stepped molded profile on the top and bottom rails, simpler flat sides, and consistent warm grain throughout. The mirror glass is large and clear. Originally produced as a dresser mirror to accompany a bedroom suite, it reads with equal authority as a standalone wall mirror and can be hung in either landscape or portrait orientation depending on the space.

The walnut and pecan combination was a hallmark of quality American bedroom furniture production through the 1960s — warm, consistent, and genuinely handsome in the way that American mid-century traditional furniture at its best consistently was. A precisely dated, well-made mirror at a generous scale.
