An ornate pierced outer border surrounds a quieter cream-toned inner molding, followed by another delicate band of scrolling decoration immediately surrounding the mirror glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface is perhaps the most beautiful feature of the piece. The original-style gilt and painted finish has developed extensive craquelure, mellowed coloration, rubbed gilding, and areas of loss, creating the wonderfully timeworn appearance that can only develop with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than appearing bright or newly gilded, the frame has softened into an atmospheric palette of antique gold, muted silver-gold, warm cream and aged gray, with traces of brighter gilding emerging along the raised ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mirror glass also displays age-related spotting and surface character, complementing the wonderfully aged frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt approximately 24 × 28 inches, this is an especially versatile antique mirror. It is substantial enough to create a focal point while remaining beautifully scaled for a powder room, bathroom vanity, bedroom, entryway, gallery wall, mantel, or above a small chest or console.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA beautiful piece for a French-inspired, English country, traditional, grandmillennial, Old World, or collected interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003cbr\u003e\nAntique wall mirror\u003cbr\u003e\nEarly 20th century\u003cbr\u003e\nCirca 1900–1930, estimated\u003cbr\u003e\nWood frame with applied composition ornament, believed\u003cbr\u003e\nGilt \/ antiqued painted finish\u003cbr\u003e\nReticulated openwork frame\u003cbr\u003e\nRococo \/ Baroque Revival influence\u003cbr\u003e\nAcanthus and foliate scroll decoration\u003cbr\u003e\nShell-inspired corner ornament\u003cbr\u003e\nLayered architectural moldings\u003cbr\u003e\nBeautifully developed craquelure\u003cbr\u003e\nNaturally distressed antique surface\u003cbr\u003e\nAged mirror glass\u003cbr\u003e\nMaker unknown\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDIMENSIONS\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximately 24\" × 28\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an antique piece with age-related patina and wear, all of which contribute to its wonderfully timeworn appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boselli Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45746460098695,"sku":null,"price":795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/6704\/5767\/files\/il_fullxfull.8515007211_givf.jpg?v=1788365834","url":"https:\/\/bosellivintage.com\/products\/antique-giltwood-mirror-early-1900s-19106","provider":"Boselli Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
