BLACK FOREST MIRROR

Circa 1875. Exceptional, Rococo Revival, table mirror. Although the carving and style look like a German "Black Forest" type, I believe that it is American in origin. The carving is less bulky and finer in every way and the wood is American black walnut. The entire wood frame is in excellent original condition with no repairs or refinishing. The detail is of grapes and leaves carved onto natural looking tree branches. The mirror swivels are the original brass and the plate is also original but in poor condition. It can be easily replaced if the buyer wishes.  34 1/2” high x 26 1/2" wide x 13" deep.  Price $2,500
