This beautiful and Rare find features lovely curled vines and leaves which surround an oval-shaped mirror. The frame is in a mix of brown and gold. Some of the frame designs slightly cover the mirror at the edges making for a wonderful classic touch.

At the back, a redwood backing attaches to the frame. The Syroco Wood stamp is to the center. This piece appears to have possibly been affixed with a frame stand, much like a photo frame would. Perhaps it was used as a vanity mirror on a dressing table? However, this has been removed. We would love to see this piece used in a number of ways:

1.) As a wall mirror. This faux bois mirror would look incredible added to another grouping of mirrors. The details are incredible and would add interest and contrast to a grouping of other mirrors.

2.) Call us crazy, but we love the idea of using mirrors as trays. This piece could function as a table tray when laid flat on a table to display items on a vanity such as perfumes, or cosmetics. Again, another way to add a touch of glitz.

3.) This piece could also be adapted to serve as a standing mirror for a tabletop. A lovely way to add a little traditional charm to a vanity or bathroom.
