Antique Art Deco wall mirror

With applied relief decoration, this mirror is strongly influenced by the arts & crafts movement but remains modern with its minimal form. It would find its place elegantly above a fireplace, a sideboard, a chest of drawers, in a cloakroom or near the front door. It would suit a range of interiors such as arts & crafts, art deco, Hollywood regency, traditional, country or contemporary. The wooden frame is covered with a solid brass sheet that features interesting and unique geometric embossed floral decorations, a combination of handmade and machine-made features. The outer edges of the frame are trimmed with a pressed rope pattern. The exterior trim is flat and simple, emphasizing the rectangular shape. The brass sheet continues along the sides to the back. On the reverse is the original antique solid wood backplate. The quality antique silver mirror surface is original and securely held in place behind the frame. It is super thick, fully reflective and has a beveled edge which adds a sense of depth and a subtle emerald shimmer when viewed from the sides. To hang the mirror on the wall there is the original brass metal chain which is attached to two metal plates, each screwed to the wooden back plate. This antique wall mirror is in very good condition for its age. The antique patina has been preserved. The brass frame is solid with no missing parts or cracks. The brass surfaces feature the original clear lacquer and a lovely warm patina developed over the years adding character, with minor rubbing and surface marks. The original mirror surface is in good condition, it is very reflective, with no cracks or chips and only minimal surface marks such as light scratches and a few tiny spots of foxing, a small area slightly more visible (as photographed) ; all consistent with age and wear and as expected for an antique piece.
