The dark, richly aged wood frame has a simple molded inner edge, and the older glass has the soft, slightly uneven reflection that only time can give.

Found at a house sale at an old Cape Cod family house in Provincetown, Massachusetts, this mirror came out of a home where it had clearly been part of daily life. The back is papered, lined with a floral striped paper, a quiet detail that adds to its story.

Narrow and elegant, it is the right scale for an entry, a powder room, a stair landing, or a gallery wall of mixed antiques. It reads as traditional, but the clean silhouette sits just as happily in a modern room.

Condition: lovingly used, with the natural age, wear, and patina you would expect from an antique. Older glass shows its age. Please see photos for details, and message us with any questions.
