Antique Mantel Mirror *

Green Painted!!! Victorian ? Mantel Mirror. Its damn heavy had a few knocks and the back is held together with parcel tape... BUT...... underneath this thick disguise as a piece of junk lies the potential for something special. The mirror glass is not broken . There is some pitting to mirror back coating predominantly in one small area shown in detail in photo but the majority is very clean and clear. The reflections have great depth not like a modern mirror. I am sorry I dont know what wood its been made from but I suspect its mahogony .I am certain its not pine. The wood detailing is simple and plain no elaborate carving. With the paint stripped and a bit of tlc this has the potential to be a really nice piece definitely worth a punt at 25 onon
