ANTIQUE #SA837949

Wall Hanging Triptych Dressing Mirror

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

A very unusual wall hanging triptych dressing mirror or perhaps hall mirror, dating to around the 1930''s and of a very high quality.
 
The mirrors are encased in simple brass frames and the pale green frame, opening drop handle is also the original brass too. When closed, you have a simple painted frame with the one main mirror section. Opening the first mirror up, there is a vintage embroidered silk panel which also is hinged to give you the lefthand side and the fixed rear mirror.
 
Interestingly, the rear mirror has a faded silhouette of the wall hanging behind, which suggests this hung in a very light area and was fully open like this for many many years.
 
I have shown the mirror over a sofa table with a pair of lamps either side so you can see the mirrors can be used with something below!
 
This would make a great hall mirror, but also as a bedroom dressing mirror or dressing table mirror.
 
It is heavy with all these mirrors, so will need a good sturdy wall to hang on.<...
