Retaining its original Hagemann maker's label to the reverse, this piece exemplifies the romantic neoclassical styling that made Hagemann mirrors a favorite in American interiors during the mid-20th century.

The rectangular frame is constructed of wood with applied gesso decoration, showcasing finely detailed leafy motifs along the sides and a sculptural Louis XVI-inspired bow at the crest. The warm gilded finish has developed an attractive patina over time, lending depth and character that only age can provide.

The original mirror plate exhibits gentle age-related hazing and scattered areas of silvering loss, resulting in a softly aged appearance while remaining highly functional and reflective. These subtle signs of age enhance the mirror's authenticity and decorative appeal.

An exceptional accent for an entryway, powder room, bedroom, dressing area, or above a console, chest, or mantel. Equally at home in French Provincial, Hollywood Regency, traditional, cottage, or eclectic interiors.
