The knobs still don't make sense, but whatever. They're beautiful mirrors!!

It has a wall hanger but does it look like it ever had a stand so it could sit on a shelf ??  If not,, why the feet ??
quite a standard item  19th century overmantle possibly Tunbridge inspired  dates 1880 ish  can be purchased from £20 to £100 depending where ! http://www.bbc-antiques.co.uk
