Lot 1165: A Vintage Ornate Gilt Framed Wall Mirror
A vintage ornate gilt framed wall mirror of substantial proportions. The frame is constructed with a wide profile featuring deep-moulded ornamentation, incorporating scrolling foliate motifs, floral elements, and decorative shells at the corners. A fine beaded border runs along the inner edge of the frame. The surface is finished in a burnished gold / gilt tone with a darkened patination in the recesses to accentuate the detail. The rectangular mirror plate is set within the frame. A white rectangular adhesive label is attached to the upper left corner of the glass, reading ‘HCP Auctions South West’, ‘Lot 1165’, and ‘www.hcpauctions.net’. A small circular pink adhesive sticker is affixed to the lower right corner of the frame, but no text or characters are legible on it.
Large-scale furniture items; exact dimensions are not provided.
