Crafted in France circa 1920, the rectangular wall mirror is framed in walnut carved and turned to imitate bamboo canes, a popular decorative motif of the late 19th and early 20th centuries inspired by the Aesthetic Movement and Anglo-Japanese design.
The frame is embellished with projecting bamboo-form corner finials and retains a rich honey-colored walnut patina with attractive age wear that enhances its authenticity and visual appeal. The simple rectangular mirror plate is bordered by the sculptural faux bamboo framework, creating a balance between rustic elegance and refined craftsmanship. The back retains its original wood panel and hanging chain.
This antique French mirror is in good condition commensurate with age and use, with minor wear and light foxing to the mirror glass consistent with its age. Its versatile scale makes it ideal for a powder room, hallway, bedroom, or layered wall arrangement.
Dimensions: 17.25”W x 1.25”D x 19.5”H. See less
