In this listing we are offering for sale this splendid Victorian Eastlake Carved Walnut Wall / Dresser Mirror circa 1880’s.
The carved details on this mirror are geometric in design reflecting more of a adobe southwest style motif. The mirror measures a total height to the top of the crest of 49-1/2” inches tall by 36” inches wide, and weighs between 20-25 lbs. The mirrored inside dimensions are approximately: 29” inches tall by 17” inches wide
This would make a wonderful statement in a foyer, bedroom or great room over a fireplace mantel in a southwest décor style, log cabin or Victorian themed home.
There have been restoration modifications to the mirror as follows:
There was no original mirror when I purchased it, just the frame and it’s been replaced by a modern glass mirror. The mirrored frame piece (I believe) was originally made to swivel for a large dresser, but solid brackets are now attached to the back to make this piece stationary since there was also no original hardware that came with it. The wood was faded from years of neglect in a bright storeroom, but the mirror frame has been refinished with a clear natural stain to bring out the original color of the walnut wood. The photos show more of a reddish tint to the color, but it’s really a warm medium brown tone. It was very difficult to photograph in my office. Overall wood condition is very good, no splits, cracks, chunks missing, mold or rot.
Although our price is reflective of these modifications, there is still value in owning this beautiful piece of history for generations to come.
