Forgot about 2 other mirrors
« on: December 03, 2012, 08:34:54 pm »
Forgot about these 2 other mirrors we have. The smaller self standing  one my wife got about 15 years ago at a yard sale so dont know around how old it is. The larger one hanging on the wall was given to my wife by her father, and it was her grandparents. So 50 years old or more I'm guessing?

No the larger one is not beveled, neither is the small one. They are both made of wood.

The bottom style was popular in the 60`s !!  Thats when the white with gold trim was going around !!  Saw a lot of French Provincial furniture with mirrors like that !!  Living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms !! Same color and basic style !!

I would almost bet the carved relief decoration, at least on the larger one, is plaster applied onto a wood frame

If Grandma was born in 1912..Mart...then assume that she bought the mirror when  an adult....then mid century..is probably right....
