https://www.decorativecollective.com/dealers/on-reflection-mirrorsTall, late 19th century, French Bistro-style mirror with narrow, outcurving, silverleafed frame. Unusually for this style of mirror, the layer beneath the silverleaf is a chocolate brown bole and, where the silverleaf has thinned through years of cleaning, hints of the chocolate brown are showing through the silver, giving the mirror frame a warm patina. This colour is also used around the outside edges. The original glass has light age but still gives an excellent reflection and this mirror would make a lovely full-length mirror or could be used as an "entre deux" - a mirror hung between two windows. It could also be hung horizontally over a pair of basins or a long piece of furniture.
