Best Quality Bird's Eye Maple Mirror

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Waterfall Antiques

An absolutely exquisite example of a 19th-century wall-hanging bird''s eye maple rectangular mirror - the finest we''ve seen in many years. This general-purpose looking glass is suitable for any room in the house with a simple, understated design. It has an outer square-section moulding with a generous flat bevel, within which is a sight edge having its original water-gilded finish. It retains a genuine mercury-glass plate of superb quality and originality having a couple of marks, a small amount of foxing, and a beautiful glistening sparkling reflection - an everyday-usable plate that is perfect for a period piece such as this. The superbly well-figured maple retains its original finish with a good rich colour and a warm glowing patination. It is English, c.1850 - c.1875.
