About the Item

First half 20th century, Italy, a lovely giltwood mirror in the Louis XVI style. The mirror is in the form of a large flower basket with tied ribbon crest, the basket handle is entwined with an asymmetrical meandering vine. The mirror looks to be original. The back is wood paneled. The carving of a straight basket base would allow for use as an overmantel mirror.

This mirror would be a great addition to a smart powder room, entryway or guest bedroom to name a few possibilities. It is an unusual and beautiful form, and not one that we have seen before.

Note: We sell a number of beautiful antique and vintage mirrors. To reduce shipping costs for the buyer, we pay to have our mirrors professionally packed for UPS shipping by The Shipping Grounds in Denville, NJ. This shipping method is faster and less costly than using a white glove shipper, and we have found it to be safe and efficient.
