Lot 1047: A Vintage Mid-Century Arched Bevelled Glass Mirror Plate
A vintage mid-century arched bevelled glass mirror plate of rectangular form with a gently rounded top edge. The plate is finished with a deep and prominent polished bevelled perimeter. The glass surface displays significant signs of age and environmental exposure, featuring extensive foxing, silvering degradation, and spotting throughout, which contributes to a heavily distressed and weathered aesthetic. The item bears a modern white adhesive label printed with HCP Auctions South West and Lot 1047, positioned on the upper section of the glass. Directly above this is a partial remnant of an earlier, illegible white paper label. This mirror plate is likely intended for custom framing or as a decorative wall element in a distressed style.
Large-scale furniture items; exact dimensions are not provided.
