Etsy - IconicEdinburgh Antique Black Forest Mirror Frame in The Form Of An Easel Stand; Decorated With Intricate Carvings Oak Leaves & Acorns
Description
This is a stunning late Victorian hand carved mirror frame. It is probably German in origin, carved in the Black Forest style. The mirror probably was designed as a table top one - with a stand at the back, but has recently been converted to hang on the wall. This mirror & Black Forest frame is just exquisite - & as you can see from my photographs the carving is certainly most superior in detail & craft. The mirror frame is tromphe l'oeil & carved from one piece of wood to resemble a picture or photo frame on an easel which has been made of oak - & this is covered with meandering leaves all around. Even to make look more "super real" little wooden pins have been carved as decorative details. This is all superb quality - & will look fantastic in a period interior or as part of your collection of fine Black Forest carvings. The mirror has its original wooden backing - but has sadly lost its original table top stand. There is now a little d-ring hook to allow you to hang on your wall Dimensions: from top to bottom of wooden frame is 14 3/4 inches (37.5 cm). Width is 11 3/4 inches (29.5 cm). Height of mirror section is 9 inches (22.5 cm) & width of the mirror section is 7 inches (17.5 cm). Weight unpacked is 1.3 kg As you can see from my photographs - beautiful carving, & the mirror & its frame are in excellent antique condition. More photographs can be supplied on rest.
