About:
In the 17th Century, frames are assembled in the corners. The frames are not glued but assembled with a "key". Those are usually oak and are positioned perpendicular to the cutting of the sides. At the rear of the frame, the wood is raw and traces of non-mechanical tools can appear there. Patina must be natural: Named "hare dress", it is usually dark brown or beige and is not uniform.

(Ambiance picture might not have the exact actual size of the mirror). less
