I saw this mirror which looking through the things at my antique supplier's house last night.
It certainly looks old but I suspect the mirror has been replaced. I bought it nonetheless as I liked its ornate design.
After careful inspection I have come to believe that it is made of brass. It looks very dark and has greenish spots due to age.
I can just image it being used by the lady of the house or one of her daughters. They must be from a rather well off family to be able to afford a piece like this.
Enough said, I will now let the photos do the talking.
Oh yes. One more thing. I appreciate if any of my readers can shed more light on this item as I absolutely know nothing about it. Thanks
