Crafted in Europe during the 1960s, the frame is molded from durable epoxy resin, a material frequently utilized during this period to produce highly detailed decorative pieces. The frame design features an inner rope-twist border surrounded by layered, staggered radiating sun rays, all finished in a gold patina. A defining characteristic of this piece is its central convex mirror glass.

Often referred to as a "witches mirror," the convex shape provides a distorted, panoramic reflection of the room, adding architectural depth to an interior. The total diameter of the frame measures 59 centimeters, with the convex mirror glass itself measuring 19.5 centimeters. It is appropriately sized to function as a focal point above a console table, a fireplace mantle, or incorporated into a gallery wall. The golden finish displays authentic, age-appropriate wear, while the central convex glass remains clear and functional. See less
