This wall hanging mirror with dual candle holders has about the most fantastic patina one could hope for. Antique mirrors are all the rage in the world of interior decorators currently. If not actual antique mirrors they are recreating the look of antique mirrors by intentionally distressing new mirrors to look old. See the final bunch of screenshots for reference. This one has the look! The frame has lost some of its gold gilding in just the right amount and spots to look great. It is easy to hang on the wall with a single nail or screw. You can actually use it to light candles in, they will reflect beautifully off of the distressed antique mirror. This piece would have been made at some point in the second half of the 19th century or very early into the 20th century. The neo-classical dolphins at the top of the frame are lovely. Condition is excellent outside of the obvious patination. Former owner had a wealthy old coastal Maine estate. They put some cardboard shims behind the latches that secure the mirror to make sure it didn’t rattle around. What a cool decor piece for any home!
