Hi weve had this mirror in the house after my mom got it from a very wealthy person she worked for...were trying to sell it and i dont want to let it go too easy at a garage sale if its actually worth more, or worth keeping to pass on. any help would be appreciated ..
happy holidays
-ps im glad to have found this forum, im new so will be learning the rules as i go so excuse me for any mistakes.

A lot of times people are wealthy because they don't spend frivolously. It's a nice mirror but I don't think a very major value. Are there any makers marks on it? Can we see the back?
-
What you will have to determine, is ..the frame....i.e. what is it made of,by that i mean...is it real wood, or a man made material that has be gilded,....or plaster,..a pic of the obverse side would be helpful,..how is the mirror held in to the frame,..the general location from where it came,..as for a mark....not everything has marks...and just because they don,t have a makers mark,does,nt mean they are cheap...it just means they are harder to put a value on...

Yes,, we need a pic of the back please !!
-
The mirror its self just doesn't appear very aged. Does it seem like a thick glass?
-
Forgot,, we also need size of it !! Its not beveled glass and just looking at the front I would guess its 1960ish but will wait to get other answers and see the back !!
-
Nice ceiling return vents and fire alarms! :)
Glass looks VERY even and mirrored as well as frame looks fairly new as well!!!
-
Didn`t think it was beveled but is that a faint line I see at the bottom ?? Hard to tell much with it on the floor,,can`t get a good view of the glass !!
-
A VERY close up picture of the guilding would be great. :)
