This is a stunning late Victorian hand-carved mirror frame. It is probably German in origin, carved in the Black Forest style.
The mirror probably was originally designed as a tabletop one - with a stand at the back but has recently been converted to hang on the wall.
This mirror and Black Forest frame are just exquisite - and as you can see from my photographs the carving is certainly superior in detail and craft.
The mirror frame is intricately carved with such attention to detail. It is covered with oak meandering leaves all around. I love the inclusion of all the sweet little acorns.
This is all superb quality - and will look fantastic in a period interior or as part of your collection of fine Black Forest carvings.
The mirror has its original wooden backing - but has sadly lost its original tabletop stand. There is now a little ring hook on the back at the top to allow you to hang it on your wall (as photographed).
Dimensions: from top to bottom of the wooden frame is 16 1/2 inches. The width is 13 inches. The mirror glass measures 9 1/2 inches in height and 7 1/2 inches wide.
