French 19th-century square mirror w/ ribbed frame & rustic sage green patina 43¼" x 39½"

Dating from the start of the nineteenth century, a sizable square mirror with a faded green painted wood frame featuring a curvy, ribbed design. The mirror is all original including its mercury glass featuring some foxing. A delightful mirror to go above a buffet in a dining room, bedroom, or living room.

This mirror contains its original mercury glass which sparkles beautifully in the light. The technique of making mercury glass mirrors was retired in the early 1900s. The mercury is fixed behind the glass in a solidified, non harmful state.

Note: Mirrors have been photographed facing fabric, a technique that reveals any age spots in the glass. In some cases, this may create the appearance of an empty frame, but each mirror is complete except where explicitly stated.

Condition and wear consistent with age and use.
