Antique mercury mirror in wood, late 19th century

Antique rectangular mirror, almost square, with a rather damaged mercury glass and a dark wood frame with double, lighter-colored engraved borders. Small in size, this mirror is more decorative than truly useful for looking at oneself; its appeal lies precisely in its patina and aged appearance. It can be hung to reflect light, visually enlarge a space, and add a touch of mystery and charm to garden settings, workshops, or bathrooms. Height: 33.5 cm. Width: 30.5 cm. Thickness: 1 cm. Weight: 1 kg.
