Metal Mirror with Cherubs |
Cherub detail on mirror top |
Right corner cherub and scroll |
I am saying this mirror has vintage styling, because I don't believe the mirror is very old at all. The frame and mirror has a very "fresh" feel to it.
Edge Detail |
What clinches my "recent product" guess is the back - a mirror glued in fast with fat runs of white silicon glue, with the contemporary thick black cardboard "dual use" frame back glued on over the mirror. (You know the dual use frame thing - the frame can stand alone or be hung on the wall.) Sorry, I didn't think to take a picture of the back.
Either way, I liked this mirror, and the price was under $15 for a fun piece. It makes me smile. What would you consider the style of this piece - baroque? Victorian? Shaker?
Let me know your opinion or if you have seen a similiar mirror for sale somewhere.

Hmmm...Let's see. The style I think this is is just plain beautiful. Your mirror was a great find for a super great price. Thanks so much or sharing. I just love it.

What a beautiful mirror! I love the cherubs!
Kelly
What a great piece! I would love to have you over for Treasure Hunt Thursday sometime!
Oh, what a beautiful mirror! Love the cherubs. Such a great price too! :) Thanks for linking it at Home Sweet Home!
Sherry
I think you found a very fun piece. What makes me chuckle is the fact that 5 years ago, I wouldn't have wanted a piece like that at all and now, I would hang it in my home if I found it. How our tastes change!
Love that fancy framed mirror. You won't be sorry you bought it.
That is a fabulous piece and the price, wow! I am thinking it looks Victorian. Visiting from Seasonal Sundays, xo (I love the photos in some of the older posts, esp. the DC post with the Capital Bldg., really great)
Defenitly Baroque or Victorian. And as for the Cherubs.... they look a bit like Cupid. The Shakers were celebate! I absolutely love the mirror myself though, a wonderful find, and a modern colour!
Love this mirror!!! It's great to have you being a part of Seasonal Sundays.

Great mirror and fun find! It makes your heart sing! YeeHaw! Have a great week!
Darling mirror and so unusual with the dark color of the frame. I'd say you found a treasure.
Happy Sunday,
Babs
I love SusieQ's observation of the ways tastes change over time. It is so true. In 3-5 years will I no longer like this piece? Time will tell.
I threw in the "Shaker" guess as a joke - I wonder if any people chuckled when they read that.
I love a great mirror and yours is fab find. I love the color on the metal and that it is metal. The cherubs are the icing on the cake. Thanks for sharing your lovely mirror.

Terry

Lovely. If you get a chance I would love you to link your mirror up to More the Merrier Monday. It lasts through Wednesday so you have plenty of time to stop by. See you there. http://diyhshp.blogspot.com/

Oh what a beautiful mirror. I love all of the detail on it. Such a great find and the price is unreal. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
nice find!! It will be great too, if you ever find it doesn't match your change of decor, to paint it and voila! New again! It's great how things find new life.
Love it!
