Wendy at Ivory Spring made a comment about the mirror in my Trim the Tree post yesterday. That gave me the idea to post about it for today’s Show and Tell Friday, sponsored by Kelli at There is No Place Like Home.
The mirror was a gift from my mother when I had bought a dresser in a local antique shop. It is dark polished wood and has pierced embellishment at the top. The entire mirror is curved and enhanced with applied molding. [Please excuse the dust.]
The curved top

The curved bottom
The mirror is a bit darker than the mahagony dresser. I may be able to have the mirror refinished to match the dresser, but in the meantime it works out fine.
Thank you for letting me share my mirror. Do visit more Show and Tell at Kelli’s house at There is No Place Like Home.
So ornate and lovely! Love the dark wood.

ReplyDeleteCome view my show n tell if you can find time. It's a new 'hobby' of mine started just this past week. Happy Friday, happy weekend.
Your mirror is beautiful. I like the different stains on wood. I'd rather have it look a little different--not like it was purchased as a set. laurie
ReplyDeletegreat mirror!
ReplyDeleteLove the mirror and I wouldn't change the stain. I don't think woods all need to match. Thanks for stopping by and saying hello. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteYour mirror is very elegant and tasteful. It goes so well with the way you have decorated. How sweet you can think of your mother each time you see it... in a way, its ironic for you are a 'reflection' of your mother, somewhat, no?
ReplyDeleteCarrie - now that I am able to see the mirror in its entirety, I love it EVEN MORE! That fretwork on the top is just so gorgeous!!! Thanks for showing it to us.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Such a lovely mirror! I bet your house is furnished throughout with great pieces like this! So pretty!
