An most attractive and large scale Dutch 19th century Baroque st. patinated pressed metal mirror. The central original beveled mirror plate is surrounded by a foliate decorated band with corner and mid section reserves.

The patinated metal frame, with embossed sculptural decorations, is handcrafted using a technique known as “Repoussé”.

At the top is the most decorative pediment shaped pierced crown with more of the same elegant floral scrolled designs. — Read Less
