We date this mirror to the very early 20th century.

The mirror sits within a very ornate inlaid walnut frame with gilt metal mounts to the arch top and sides.

Above the mirror glass is a framed canvas painting scene of travellers visiting a shrine of Jesus on the cross, overlooking the sea.

The mirror glass is thick, bevelled, and is showing some signs of foxing. These include a number of small spots, a small line to the centre and some minor foxing around some of the edges.

The top of the mirror is fitted with two hooks for wall fixing.

The mirror has a height of 80″ (203cm), a width of 45″ (114cm) and a depth of 3″ (8cm) at the top.

This lovely mirror remains in very good solid condition with only very minor surface markings commensurate with age and usage. Some of the veneers are lifting very slightly and the painted surface has a number of small spots where the painted has flaked off.

This remains a stylish and elegant wall mirror. It will continue to provide sterling service for many years to come.
