Produced by the renowned Michigan maker LaBarge, this exceptional mirror showcases finely painted Asian-inspired scenes with flowering branches, cranes, waterfalls, pavilions, butterflies, and landscape elements surrounding a beveled central mirror plate.

The restrained gold-tone frame creates a refined border while allowing the hand-painted decoration to remain the focal point. LaBarge became particularly celebrated during the mid-to-late twentieth century for mirrors combining superior craftsmanship with artistic surface treatments, and their painted and églomisé examples remain among the company’s most collectible forms.

The composition possesses a delicate balance of landscape imagery and botanical motifs that evokes traditional Chinese decorative arts interpreted through a sophisticated Hollywood Regency and designer aesthetic. Equally suitable for use in an entryway, powder room, bedroom, or above a console or chest, this mirror offers both functional utility and strong decorative presence. The original LaBarge label remains intact on the reverse, further supporting authenticity. Please view all photographs for complete condition details.
