Fret Carved Lime Wood Mirror With Mercury Plate

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Tom Scott Antiques

Beautifully fret carved lime wood mirror with a fabulous mercury mirror plate and with just the right amount of foxing, circa 1900 and in great condition.
 
The lime wood gives very crisp and detailed carving and also polishes well too. The matt finish of the carved inner slip works so well and gives a lovely contrast to the rich tone of the outer frame.
 
The mirror is to be hung ''landscape'' as shown as there is a carved torch frame to the top and a fabulous carved serpent to the lower frame centre.
 
The mercury mirror plate has a lovely foxed finish to it, but none of it is dark or black foxing. You can see the foxing in the photographs and in my opinion, it looks great and enhances the mirror.
 
There is a secure hanging chain fitted, so it will just require a secure screw fitting on your wall, or you may prefer to hang it with a pair of mirror plates.
